A lightly slanted slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a mostly monoline stroke. Serifs read as flat, rectangular blocks on stems, while curves stay smooth and open, giving counters a clean, legible shape. Proportions feel moderately narrow with a steady rhythm and ample sidebearings, and the italic construction is calm rather than calligraphic—more of a consistent oblique with serifed structure. Numerals and capitals appear stable and upright in stance despite the slant, with clear joins and restrained detailing.
Well-suited to editorial typography, longform reading, and magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It can also work effectively for pull quotes, academic material, and captioning where a slightly vintage, structured texture is desirable.
The tone blends a bookish, editorial polish with a faint typewriter-era dryness. It feels practical and readable, yet slightly quirky due to the slab serif structure paired with an italic lean, lending a quietly vintage, academic mood.
Likely intended as an italic slab serif that preserves the sturdiness and legibility of a text face while adding a distinct, period-tinged personality. The unbracketed slabs and controlled slant suggest a focus on consistent paragraph color and dependable emphasis in running copy.
The design maintains strong consistency between uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with a straightforward serif vocabulary repeated across the set. The slant and squared serifs create a distinctive texture in paragraphs, helping emphasis feel prominent without becoming flashy.
