A sturdy oblique slab serif with bracketed, block-like serifs and a compact, low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, rounded joins, and softly squared terminals that keep the texture even in continuous text. Capitals are broad and stable with strong horizontals, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a conventional, workmanlike rhythm; figures appear lining with substantial weight and simple, legible shapes.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or secondary text with a traditional feel. It should perform comfortably in long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, essays, and academic layouts, and can also serve for headlines when a sturdy, classic italic voice is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a slightly old-style, print-forward flavor that reads as dependable rather than flashy. Its italic stance adds motion and emphasis while keeping a composed, traditional voice.
Designed to provide a practical, readable slab-serif italic that maintains a consistent texture in text while delivering strong, supportive serifs and a familiar typographic cadence. The emphasis is on reliable everyday setting with a traditional print character.
The serifs are pronounced and supportive, giving words a grounded baseline and a sturdy page color. Spacing and proportions appear tuned for paragraph reading, with enough differentiation between similar shapes to remain clear at text sizes.
