This is an italic slab serif with crisp, mostly square-ended serifs and a compact, forward-leaning stance. Strokes are fairly even in thickness with only subtle modulation, producing a sturdy texture while still feeling quick and handwritten in rhythm. Letters show moderate, slightly variable widths and open counters; the lowercase has a clear italic construction with single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and a long, descending f. Numerals follow the same italic slant with rounded bowls and stable, flat terminals, keeping the set cohesive in running text.
It works well for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasized passages in longer text. The robust slab serifs and even color also make it a good fit for magazine features, academic or literary materials, and other settings that benefit from a traditional italic with strong structure.
The overall tone reads as literary and editorial, blending traditional serif authority with a lively italic energy. It feels earnest and slightly old-world, suited to content that wants a cultured, bookish voice rather than a sleek contemporary one.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable italic companion with slab-serif firmness, delivering emphasis without becoming delicate. It prioritizes clear, consistent rhythm in paragraphs while retaining a slightly calligraphic, energetic feel typical of italic constructions.
The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, and the slab-like serifs create strong horizontal accents that help the text hold together at larger sizes. Curves stay smooth and restrained, while diagonals and joins keep a sharp, decisive finish.
