A lively italic slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a clear, moderately contrasted stroke structure. The letterforms show a noticeable rightward slant and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic construction, with clean terminals and open counters that keep paragraphs readable. Capitals feel broad and stable with prominent slabs, while the lowercase shows more motion and nuance in joins and shoulders. Numerals match the text color well, with consistent weight and a traditional, text-oriented feel.
It performs especially well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and essays, where an italic with character can carry long passages without losing clarity. The strong slabs and assertive italic rhythm also make it effective for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and highlighted phrases within otherwise roman text.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, balancing a serious, traditional foundation with an energetic italic voice. It reads as confident and slightly dramatic, suited to contexts where emphasis should feel crafted rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif presence in an italic form that remains practical for reading. It aims to combine traditional, print-forward cues with enough motion and contrast to stand out in editorial hierarchies.
In text, the italic angle and pronounced serifs create a strong horizontal flow and a distinctive texture. The design maintains an even typographic color across mixed-case settings, with punctuation and figures integrating smoothly into running copy.
