A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and low stroke contrast. The letterforms show gently rounded joins and softened terminals, giving the heavy serifs a less mechanical, more humanist feel. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady rhythm, while curves (notably in C, G, and S) stay open and readable. The lowercase has a smooth, flowing italic construction with a single-storey a and g, and the figures appear oldstyle with varying heights and subtle calligraphic movement.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a serif texture and italic emphasis are needed. It can also work for headlines and pull quotes when a traditional, print-leaning voice is desired without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking editorial typography and book work. Its italic slant and softened slab details feel approachable and slightly nostalgic, balancing seriousness with warmth.
Likely designed as a dependable italic slab-serif for text typography, pairing sturdy serifs with smooth, readable cursive forms. The goal appears to be a practical workhorse with a gently humanized character for editorial and publishing contexts.
Capitals read stable and formal, while the lowercase introduces more motion and handwritten influence, creating a useful contrast for emphasis. The italic styling is consistent across letters and numbers, producing an even texture in continuous text.
