A very slender italic with crisp, unbracketed slab serifs and a clean, even stroke weight. The forms lean consistently to the right, with narrow proportions and generous internal counters that keep the texture open despite the fine lines. Serifs are small but emphatic, ending strokes with squared, flat terminals that give the otherwise flowing italic a structured, typographic finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a moderate diagonal stress and tidy joins, producing an orderly rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed with clarity and restraint—pull quotes, intros, captions, and refined long-form settings at comfortable sizes. It can also work well for upscale invitations and branding systems that want a delicate, cultured italic with a subtle slab-seriffed backbone.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, combining the poise of an old-style italic with the disciplined snap of slab terminals. It feels calm and cultivated rather than loud, suggesting editorial polish and a slightly vintage, academic sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated text italic that remains legible and composed while adding character through crisp slab serifs. Its fine strokes and open spacing suggest a focus on elegance and readability rather than heavy impact.
Uppercase characters show restrained, classical construction with sharp entry/exit serifs, while the lowercase maintains a steady italic cadence with compact ascenders and descenders. Numerals match the light, refined color and appear designed to sit comfortably in text, keeping spacing and slant consistent with the letters.
