A slanted serif design with sturdy slab-like serifs and gently bracketed joins, combining firm verticals with subtly tapered curves. The letterforms show moderate contrast and a noticeable diagonal stress, with rounded bowls and open counters that keep text color even at reading sizes. Proportions lean slightly wide in the rounds, while spacing and rhythm feel bookish and steady; figures are clear and traditional, with smooth curves and confident serif feet.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic voice needs authority and clarity. It also works for pull quotes, subheads, and refined packaging or labels that benefit from a classic serif texture with a slightly expressive slant.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, with a traditional, slightly formal voice softened by the italic slant and rounded details. It reads as confident and cultivated rather than flashy, suggesting printed matter, essays, and classic publishing.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, print-oriented italic with slab serif stability and an oldstyle warmth, balancing legibility with a gently calligraphic cadence. Its forms emphasize a composed, traditional reading experience while still offering a distinctive voice.
Uppercase forms maintain crisp slab terminals that hold the line, while lowercase shapes add warmth through rounded joins and a fluid, handwritten-like movement. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, creating a cohesive forward rhythm without becoming overly cursive.
