An italic slab-serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke profile. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant, compact counters, and a rhythm driven by strong horizontals and pronounced bracketed joins into the serifs. Curves are smooth and somewhat tightened, while terminals stay crisp and firm, giving the design a solid, anchored texture in lines of text.
This font suits editorial design where italic emphasis needs to remain robust and highly legible, such as magazines, book typography, and pull quotes. It can also work well for headings and identity systems that want a classic slab-serif voice with forward-leaning energy.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial feel. Its italic stance adds momentum and emphasis without becoming flamboyant, balancing formality with a subtle, crafted character.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, readable italic companion with a strong slab-serif backbone—maintaining firmness and clarity while adding the dynamism and hierarchy benefits of an italic style.
Uppercase forms read especially structured and stately, while the lowercase introduces more movement through italic entry strokes and rounded bowls. Numerals appear clear and weighty, matching the same serifed, slightly condensed italic texture seen in the letters.
