A right-leaning italic slab serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs that often taper into subtle wedge-like shapes. Strokes are low-contrast and firm, with slightly softened joins and a gentle, inked texture in the curves. The lowercase shows a compact, readable build with a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and an italic “f” and “t” that emphasize forward motion; capitals are broad and stable, with strong horizontal terminals and confident diagonals. Numerals are robust and clear, matching the serif treatment and maintaining consistent color in text.
Well suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs nicely in display roles—pull quotes, subheads, and product storytelling—where its slab-seriffed sturdiness can add authority and texture.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary—confident and traditional without being overly formal. Its italic rhythm reads expressive and purposeful, suggesting classic print typography and a mildly vintage, bookish character.
Likely designed to provide a readable, energetic italic companion with the solidity of slab serifs—balancing forward movement with strong, dependable letterforms for print-like, editorial applications.
Serifs and terminals remain visually prominent at text sizes, helping maintain structure and line guidance in running copy. The italic slant is consistent and moderate, producing a smooth, continuous flow while keeping letterforms distinct.
