This is an italic slab serif with a forward-leaning stance, sturdy square-shouldered serifs, and moderately modulated strokes. Serifs read as thick and supportive, with subtle bracketing and crisp, flattened terminals that keep the texture steady in lines of text. The lowercase shows lively cursive construction—single-storey forms, compact joins, and occasional ball-like terminals—while the capitals remain more formal and structured. Spacing appears even and the rhythm is consistent, producing a dark, confident color at text sizes without looking heavy.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, books, long-form articles, and academic or literary layouts—where an italic voice is needed for emphasis while maintaining robust readability. It also works effectively in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes when you want a classic tone with a firm, slab-serif presence.
The overall tone feels editorial and bookish, combining traditional italic elegance with a pragmatic, print-oriented solidity. It suggests authority and clarity rather than flourish, with just enough motion to feel lively and human.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable italic companion with slab-serif authority: an emphasis style that remains legible and stable in continuous reading while still delivering an unmistakably italic, dynamic texture.
Figures are clearly differentiated and match the italic slant, giving numerals a text-friendly, old-style feel. The serif shaping and terminal treatment create a slightly engraved, newspaper-like crispness that holds up well in dense paragraphs.
