A slanted slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a subtly calligraphic construction. Strokes keep an even, steady rhythm with only modest modulation, while terminals often taper into small wedge-like cuts that sharpen the silhouette. Proportions feel compact and slightly condensed in the lowercase, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a lively, forward-leaning stance that keeps counters open. The overall texture is firm and slightly angular rather than soft, with squared feet and cross-strokes that read cleanly in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other text-forward layouts where an italic voice is needed without becoming overly decorative. It also works effectively for pull quotes, captions, and brand applications such as packaging or menus that benefit from a slightly vintage, personable slabbish italic.
The tone is literary and slightly old-fashioned, like an editorial italic with a hint of hand-drawn character. It feels approachable and conversational rather than formal, lending a gentle wit and vintage charm to longer passages.
The design appears intended as a readable, characterful slab-serif italic that combines sturdy, square serifs with a lightly calligraphic slant. Its goal seems to be providing emphasis and tone in continuous reading while maintaining clear word shapes and a consistent typographic color.
Uppercase forms stay sturdy and classical, while the lowercase adds more personality through hooked descenders and sharp, asymmetric joins. Numerals are clear and traditional in feel, with smooth curves and simple, readable shapes that match the text face’s steady cadence.
