A slanted slab serif with sturdy, bracketed terminals and a generally even stroke color. Serifs read broad and supportive rather than sharp, with slightly softened joins that keep the texture smooth in continuous text. The letterforms show open apertures and generous counters, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and lowercase bowls) are round and stable. Numerals follow the same robust, slightly calligraphic-italic rhythm, keeping a consistent baseline presence and legibility.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, books, essays, and reports where an italic slab serif can provide emphasis without losing body-text clarity. It also works for packaging and brand collateral that needs a traditional, dependable tone with a bit of dynamic slant for subheads, pull quotes, and short display lines.
The overall tone feels literary and workmanlike—confident and familiar, with a subtle old-style warmth from the italic slant and bracketed slabs. It suggests reliability and readability over display theatrics, lending a composed, editorial voice to headings and paragraphs alike.
Likely designed as a practical italic slab serif that maintains strong legibility and even color in text while adding a modest, classic personality. The broad, bracketed serifs and open forms point to an intention of steady reading performance across a range of sizes.
The italic construction is cohesive across cases, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a restrained, consistent serif treatment. Spacing appears comfortable and the texture stays even in the sample paragraph, supporting longer reading without looking delicate or overly mechanical.
