This typeface is an italic slab serif with sturdy, squared serifs and a modest, even stroke modulation. The letterforms show a gentle calligraphic slant and slightly tapered joins, with serifs that read as firm but not overly heavy, often with subtle bracketing. Counters are open and rounded, while curves (C, G, O, Q) maintain a smooth, controlled rhythm that balances the angularity of the slabs. Lowercase proportions feel moderate in height with compact, readable shapes, and the numerals carry the same italic energy with stable, grounded bases.
It suits editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, pull quotes, and feature headlines where an italic voice is desirable without sacrificing solidity. The slab serifs also make it effective for poster-style titles, packaging, and branding elements that need a traditional yet punchy tone.
Overall it conveys an editorial, bookish tone—traditional but energetic—suggesting a classic print voice with a touch of vintage flair. The italic movement adds emphasis and momentum, while the slab structure keeps the texture assertive and dependable. The result feels confident and approachable rather than delicate or ornate.
The design appears aimed at delivering an italic companion with strong slab-seriffed footing—combining brisk, emphatic movement with a stable, print-oriented texture for both display and extended reading contexts.
In text, the slanted forms create a lively horizontal flow, with clear word shapes and consistent spacing that produces an even gray value. The combination of robust serifs and restrained contrast helps maintain clarity at reading sizes while still feeling distinctive in headings.
