A right-leaning italic slab serif with sturdy, mostly flat-ended serifs and a restrained stroke contrast. The design shows crisp, squared terminals paired with subtly bracketed joins, giving the letterforms a firm, constructed feel despite the italic slant. Capitals are relatively compact and upright in proportion, while the lowercase has a steady rhythm and clear entry/exit strokes; counters remain open and legible. Numerals follow the same italic logic with smooth curves and consistent serif treatment, keeping a cohesive texture across text.
Well suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic needs to carry longer passages (introductions, pull quotes, captions, or highlighted sections) without becoming overly ornate. It can also serve as a distinctive voice for headings or lead-ins when paired with a roman companion, maintaining a classic print-like texture.
The overall tone is formal and literary, with an editorial polish that reads as traditional rather than decorative. Its italic energy adds momentum and emphasis, while the slab construction keeps it grounded and authoritative—suggesting scholarly, established, and composed messaging.
The font appears intended to deliver a disciplined italic with the stability of slab serifs—combining forward motion with a dependable, print-traditional structure. It prioritizes consistent texture and legibility while preserving a recognizable, classic editorial character.
The italic is more typographic than cursive: forms stay structured, with controlled curves and a consistent baseline flow. Spacing appears even and text color is fairly solid, making it suitable for continuous reading while still clearly signaling emphasis.
