A slanted slab serif with softly bracketed, blocky serifs and gently tapered strokes that keep contrast modest. The italic construction reads as a true italic rather than a simple oblique, with rounded joins and a slight calligraphic flow, especially visible in the lowercase. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with moderate apertures, sturdy verticals, and a rhythm that stays even across longer passages. Numerals appear oldstyle and integrate smoothly with the lowercase texture.
Well-suited for body copy in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a stable, traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for scholarly or institutional material and for typographic emphasis in running text thanks to its calm, legible italic form.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking editorial typography and traditional book work. Its italic gives a measured sense of motion and emphasis without becoming flashy, keeping the voice serious and dependable.
The design appears aimed at a practical, text-first slab serif voice: sturdy, readable, and familiar, with a true italic that adds nuance for emphasis while keeping an overall conservative typographic palette.
Serifs are substantial but not sharp, which helps maintain a smooth text color at reading sizes. The italic angle is noticeable yet controlled, supporting emphasis and hierarchy while preserving a composed, print-like texture.
