A sturdy italic slab serif with broad, blocky serifs and gently bracketed joins that keep the forms compact and stable. Strokes stay fairly even, with a mild diagonal stress and slightly tapered, squared terminals that give the face a firm, printed rhythm. The lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike construction with a moderate x-height and generous, readable apertures, while the caps are wide-set and confident. Numerals are solid and traditional, with clear shapes and consistent heft suited to continuous text.
It performs well in editorial settings where an italic needs to carry both emphasis and readability, such as book typography, magazine features, pull quotes, and subheads. The robust slabs also make it a strong choice for packaging or branding that wants a classic, print-rooted voice without becoming delicate.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary—confident and slightly old-style—like a dependable newspaper or book face with a touch of italic energy. Its weight and slab detailing add a grounded, authoritative character while still reading as approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to provide a practical italic companion with the sturdiness of slab serifs—prioritizing consistent texture, clear letterforms, and a confident presence in continuous reading.
The italic slant is steady and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the serifs help maintain a strong baseline in longer lines. Spacing appears comfortable, supporting smooth word shapes and an even texture in paragraphs.
