This typeface is an italic serif with sturdy, slab-influenced serifs and clearly bracketed joins. Strokes show a moderate contrast with a subtly calligraphic, slightly diagonal stress, and the letterforms lean forward with crisp, sharp entry/exit strokes. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with open counters and a steady rhythm; capitals read broad and stable while lowercase forms keep a lively, inked movement. Numerals are aligned to the same italic flow, with strong curves and distinct, readable silhouettes.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or running text. The stronger serif presence also supports magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that aim for a traditional, confident tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an authoritative, print-forward personality. Its forward slant and bold serif treatment add momentum and confidence, suggesting established editorial typography rather than casual or contemporary minimalism.
The font appears designed to deliver a dependable italic companion with extra firmness in its serifs, combining classic text-type conventions with a more assertive, slab-leaning footprint for clearer presence on the page.
The design pairs firm slab-like feet with refined curvature, creating a hybrid feel that is both robust and polished. Stroke terminals tend to finish cleanly and decisively, helping the face hold up in dense lines while still feeling dynamic.
