This typeface is an italic slab-serif with sturdy, square-leaning serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast color while the overall construction shows a subtle calligraphic influence: curved letters have a soft, oblique stress and terminals often finish with flat, confident feet. Proportions feel traditional, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a slightly varied, lively rhythm across letters that keeps text from looking mechanically uniform.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or section leads. The steady stroke weight and clear serif structure also make it a good fit for subheads and pull quotes that must remain legible while carrying a traditional, cultivated character.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking printed pages, essays, and cultured editorial settings. Its italic energy reads as expressive rather than flashy, lending a refined, slightly old-world voice that still feels practical for extended reading.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, text-oriented italic with the authority and stability of slab serifs, balancing firm terminals with enough curvature and slant to feel fluent in continuous reading.
Uppercase forms are clean and composed, while the lowercase introduces more movement—particularly in letters like g, y, and f—adding personality without turning decorative. Numerals follow the same italic slant and serif treatment, supporting consistent typographic texture in mixed text.
