A slanted slab serif with squared, unbracketed serifs and a clean, even stroke presence. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic flow in the italics, with smooth curves, firm terminals, and a consistent rhythm across caps and lowercase. Uppercase proportions feel stately and open, while the lowercase keeps a readable, moderate x-height with clear differentiation between shapes like a, e, and g. Figures are straightforward and text-friendly, with the slant and serif structure maintaining alignment and texture in continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic slab serif can provide emphasis while remaining highly readable, such as magazine features, book typography, essays, and pull quotes. It can also serve effectively for headings and title treatments that need a classic voice with a bit of forward motion.
The overall tone is literary and composed, mixing classic book typography cues with a brisk italic energy. It reads as traditional and trustworthy, with just enough movement to feel expressive rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to blend the solidity of slab serifs with the readability and cadence of a text italic, offering a dependable typographic voice for longer passages while still delivering character in display sizes.
The combination of squared slab serifs and italic construction creates a distinctive texture: sturdy at the baseline and cap line, yet fluid through bowls and joins. Spacing appears balanced in the sample text, producing an even typographic color without pronounced sparkle.
