A lightly italic serif with crisp, slab-like terminals and a consistent stroke weight that keeps contrast subdued. Serifs read as square and cleanly attached, giving the outlines a firm, graphic edge even as the letterforms lean. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with open bowls and measured apertures supporting clarity. The overall rhythm is smooth and even, with numerals and capitals sharing the same restrained, orderly construction.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book matter where an italic voice is needed without becoming ornamental. It also suits pull quotes, intros, and refined brand copy that benefits from a classic serif tone with a firmer, slab-leaning finish.
The tone is quietly formal and literary, suggesting editorial polish rather than display flamboyance. Its italic posture adds a gentle sense of motion and emphasis, while the squared serifs keep the voice grounded and composed. Overall it conveys a classic, scholarly feel suited to thoughtful reading contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, disciplined italic that can carry continuous text while still delivering a distinctive, squared-serif character. It aims to balance traditional serif proportions with a more assertive terminal treatment for clear, confident emphasis.
In the sample text, the slanted forms maintain consistent spacing and a stable color, helping longer lines read cleanly. The mix of crisp slabs and low-contrast strokes gives it a slightly contemporary sharpness while remaining traditionally structured.
