A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and subtly bracketed joins. Strokes show moderate contrast with a gently calligraphic feel, giving rounds a slightly oval rhythm. Proportions are fairly even and text-focused, with compact apertures and steady spacing that keeps lines cohesive. The italic angle is pronounced but controlled, preserving clarity while adding motion.
Performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine layouts, especially where italic is used frequently for emphasis, titles, or quotations. It also suits editorial design systems that need a dependable slab-serif voice with an expressive, traditional slant.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial—serious, readable, and slightly bookish. Its slabs add a grounded, dependable voice, while the italic slant brings a lively, expressive cadence suited to emphasis and narrative flow. The result reads as traditional rather than trendy, with a warm, confident presence.
Designed as a practical italic slab-serif that balances workhorse readability with a more literary, calligraphic slant. The intent appears to be dependable text performance while retaining enough personality for editorial emphasis and refined typography.
Capitals are clean and upright in structure but follow the same slanted, serifed logic, producing a consistent color across mixed-case settings. Numerals are straightforward and text-friendly, aligning with the family’s steady rhythm and reinforcing its utility in continuous reading.
