A slanted slab-serif with softly bracketed serifs and a steady, even color across text. Strokes are gently modulated rather than sharply contrasted, with rounded joins and a slightly calligraphic rhythm that keeps curves smooth and open. Capitals feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows lively italic construction—single-storey forms, generous apertures, and long, flowing extenders. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights, blending naturally into running text.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed without losing solidity. It can also serve effectively for pull quotes, subheads, and captions that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The tone is literary and composed, evoking editorial typography and traditional printing. Its italic slant and warm serif shaping add a human, slightly expressive feel without becoming decorative. Overall it communicates refinement, credibility, and a calm, academic voice.
Likely designed to provide a readable, editorial-minded italic slab serif that pairs stability with fluid motion. The goal appears to be a dependable text companion with enough character for emphasis and literary styling, while maintaining clarity in continuous passages.
Spacing appears comfortable in continuous setting, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The serifs remain present but not sharp, giving the face a softer texture than a hard-edged square slab while retaining strong footing on the baseline.
