A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and moderately modulated strokes. The letterforms are compact and steady, with clear vertical stress and a consistent italic angle that carries through caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters are open and well-shaped, terminals are clean, and the overall drawing favors straightforward, workmanlike proportions over display eccentricities.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for long-form reading, pull quotes, or emphasized passages. It can also serve for magazine heads and subheads, academic or literary layouts, and text with frequent figures where a cohesive, steady serif texture is beneficial.
The tone reads traditional and editorial—serious without feeling rigid. Its italic stance adds motion and emphasis while the slab structure keeps the voice grounded and dependable, lending a mildly bookish, established feel.
The design appears intended as a dependable italic slab serif for everyday composition—prioritizing clarity, consistent rhythm, and a traditional page color while still providing the assertiveness and stability associated with slab serifs.
Caps present a stable, slightly condensed presence, while the lowercase maintains a familiar rhythm suited to continuous reading. Numerals follow the same italic energy and slab-serif footing, keeping text and figures visually cohesive.
