This is an italic slab-serif with sturdy, fairly even stroke weight and a crisp, print-oriented silhouette. Serifs are prominent and mostly squared with subtle bracketing, giving the letterforms a firm baseline and strong horizontals. The italic angle is moderate and consistent, with compact, slightly tapered joins and wedge-like feet on several capitals. Counters are open and the curves are rounded but controlled, producing a steady rhythm that remains readable in continuous text.
It performs well for editorial typography where an italic needs to carry emphasis without losing stability—magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes. The strong slabs also make it suitable for short headlines, subheads, and captions that benefit from a confident, print-classic voice.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, like textbook or newspaper typography with a decisive, emphatic slant. Its stout slabs and restrained contrast communicate authority and practicality rather than delicacy, with a lightly vintage, workmanlike character.
The design appears intended to provide a durable italic companion with pronounced slabs, prioritizing clarity and typographic color in running text while still offering a distinctive, traditional texture for emphasis.
Capitals show robust, squared terminals and a classic italic construction, while lowercase forms keep a clear, utilitarian structure suited to paragraph settings. Numerals are similarly solid and upright in construction but slanted with the style, maintaining strong presence and consistent color across lines.
