An italic slab-serif with robust, squared serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke profile. The shapes lean consistently to the right with gently calligraphic modulation, while the serifs are chunky and slightly bracketed, giving joins and terminals a confident, anchored feel. Proportions are fairly traditional, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a normal x-height; counters stay open and readable. Numerals and capitals show a controlled, editorial rhythm, and several glyphs incorporate subtly asymmetric slab details that keep the texture lively without becoming decorative.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, titles, or quotations. It should also perform well in magazine layouts, pull quotes, and captions where sturdy serifs and consistent rhythm help maintain clarity at typical reading sizes.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial—serious, established, and slightly old-world—like a book italic used for emphasis, citations, or refined brand copy. The sturdy slabs add authority, while the italic slant introduces motion and a touch of formality.
Likely designed to provide a durable, text-friendly italic companion with the gravity of slab serifs—balancing traditional readability with a more assertive, contemporary sturdiness. The goal appears to be an italic that retains presence and stability in dense settings while still delivering a clear emphasis voice.
In text, the font forms a smooth, dark-gray typographic color with clear word shapes; the slabs prevent the italic from feeling overly delicate. Rounded details such as small ball-like terminals (notably on some lowercase forms) add warmth and help soften the otherwise squared, structural serif presence.
