This typeface is an italic slab serif with sturdy, squared serifs and a relatively even stroke color. The letterforms show moderate slant and a calm, readable rhythm, with bracketed joins where stems meet serifs and rounded curves in bowls and counters. Capitals feel classical and steady, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic motion—especially in the single-storey a and g, and the long, gently curved descenders. Numerals are clear and proportional, matching the text style with consistent serif treatment and solid, workmanlike shapes.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or continuous passages. It can also serve in scholarly or institutional materials, pull quotes, and titling where a classic, dependable slab-serif italic is appropriate.
The overall tone is bookish and editorial, balancing authority with a touch of warmth from the italic movement. It reads as traditional and composed rather than flashy, lending a thoughtful, literary feel to both headlines and running text.
The design appears intended to provide a legible, traditional italic companion within a slab-serif framework—delivering emphasis and narrative tone while preserving a stable, text-friendly color and robust serif structure.
Serifs remain prominent without becoming heavy, helping maintain clarity at text sizes. The italic construction appears designed for sustained reading, with controlled spacing and open internal shapes that keep the texture from clogging in dense settings.
