A sturdy italic slab serif with a consistent, low-contrast stroke and strongly bracketed serifs that read as blocky and grounded rather than razor-sharp. The italic angle is moderate and uniform, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the texture even in dense settings. Capitals feel compact and steady, while lowercase forms are slightly lively, with clear entry/exit strokes and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic flow. Numerals appear oldstyle in behavior, mixing ascenders and descenders that add a traditional, bookish cadence.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book text, and long-form articles where an italic needs to remain sturdy and legible. It also works effectively for academic or institutional materials, pull quotes, and brand language that benefits from a classic slab-serif emphasis without high contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, institutional feel that suggests print heritage and careful typesetting. Its italic voice feels purposeful rather than ornamental, giving emphasis with warmth and authority instead of flamboyance.
Likely intended as a dependable italic companion for text and editorial use, combining slab-serif solidity with a controlled, readable slant. The design aims for consistent color on the page and a familiar, traditionally minded tone that supports emphasis and hierarchy in continuous reading.
Serifs and terminals stay consistently chunky, helping the face hold its shape at smaller sizes while maintaining a recognizable italic slant. The ampersand and curved letters show a gentle rounding that softens the otherwise robust slab structure, creating a balanced, readable texture in paragraph samples.
