A compact italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The slant is pronounced and consistent, with slightly calligraphic entry/exit terminals that keep the texture lively without adding much modulation. Letterforms feel tall and streamlined, with tight internal spacing and a firm baseline presence; curves stay controlled and somewhat squarish, and diagonals are clean and assertive. Numerals share the same italic cadence and sturdy slab finishing, maintaining a cohesive, print-oriented rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where an italic voice needs to remain sturdy and readable. Its compact width and firm slabs also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that benefit from a classic, assertive texture without heavy contrast.
The overall tone reads editorial and scholarly—confident, traditional, and a bit brisk. It evokes bookish refinement and classic publishing typography, with enough sharpness to feel purposeful rather than decorative.
Likely designed to deliver a robust, space-conscious italic slab serif that holds together in continuous text while still offering a distinctive, classic publishing character. The combination of firm square serifs and a pronounced slant suggests an emphasis on clarity, authority, and a lively reading rhythm.
The italic construction is strong enough to function as a primary voice rather than merely a companion style, producing a dense, energetic text color. The slab serifs add emphasis and structure at smaller sizes, while the narrow proportions create a compact, space-efficient line.
