A slanted serif with crisp, square slab terminals that meet stems without visible bracketing. Strokes remain fairly even, with only subtle modulation, and the overall color stays light and open on the page. Letterforms show a classical construction with pointed joins and tapered diagonals, while the slabs read as clean, flat cuts that give the design a firm baseline presence. The lowercase is relatively compact with gently rounded bowls and a clear, italic rhythm; figures follow the same slanted, neatly cut style.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and magazines where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or captions. It also works for pull quotes and headlines that benefit from a refined, traditional feel while keeping edges crisp and structured.
The tone feels editorial and literary: polished and readable, with a calm, cultured pace. The combination of italic motion and squared slabs adds a slightly scholarly, old-world formality without becoming ornate.
Likely intended as an italic companion with a strong, square-serif signature, pairing classical letterform proportions with a cleaner, more geometric serif treatment. The design prioritizes consistent rhythm and clarity in text while retaining a distinctive editorial character.
Spacing appears generous, contributing to an airy texture in text. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the squared serifs create a distinctive, steady horizontal emphasis at both baseline and cap height.
