A delicate italic serif with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals and a noticeably open, horizontal stance. Strokes stay slender and even, with sharp corners and clean joins that keep the silhouettes precise. The italics are gently sloped rather than cursive, maintaining a composed, text-like rhythm with ample internal space and generous sidebearings. Numerals and capitals share the same light, airy construction, producing an overall bright page color and a restrained, editorial texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed with clarity and poise—magazine typography, literary packaging, and refined brand systems. It shines in display-to-subhead sizes, pull quotes, and short passages where its open spacing and crisp slabs can be appreciated without the hairline strokes getting lost.
The tone feels cultured and understated—more bookish than expressive—conveying a quiet sophistication. Its hairline presence and measured slant suggest formality and care, while the broad proportions keep it relaxed and breathable.
The design appears intended to blend modern crispness with a classical italic sensibility, using square slab terminals to add structure while keeping the overall color light and elegant. Its proportions and even rhythm suggest a focus on readable, upscale typography rather than calligraphic flair.
The square-ended slabs read as decisive accents at the ends of stems and crossbars, adding structure without increasing overall darkness. At larger sizes the fine details and sharp terminals feel especially clean and intentional.
