A slim, right-leaning slab serif with crisp, squared terminals and a clean, even rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with compact proportions and tight internal spacing that give the letterforms a tidy, economical feel. Serifs read as firm horizontal and vertical slabs rather than soft, tapered endings, helping the design hold its shape even while slanted. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Works well for editorial settings such as magazine typography, essays, and book components where a slanted serif voice is desirable. It’s a strong choice for pull quotes, subheads, captions, and brand language that needs a classic, literary tone without looking overly ornate. The consistent construction also makes it suitable for mixed alphanumeric settings like titles with dates or short informational blocks.
The tone is bookish and editorial, evoking classic printing and literature rather than overt display theatrics. Its slant adds a sense of movement and emphasis, while the slab construction keeps it grounded and practical. Overall it feels cultured, slightly vintage, and well-suited to refined communication.
The font appears designed to deliver an italicized slab-serif color that remains orderly and readable, combining a traditional text sensibility with crisp, squared finishing. It aims to provide emphasis and personality through slant and compact proportions, while maintaining a composed, print-like texture.
The sample text shows a steady line color with clear word shapes and a calm reading cadence. Numerals match the slanted, serifed construction of the letters, keeping a cohesive typographic voice across mixed content. The design’s compactness and firm terminals create a crisp presence, especially in larger sizes.
