This typeface is an italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke modulation. The forms lean consistently with a calligraphic, slightly angled rhythm, balancing sharp terminals with smooth, open curves. Capitals feel stately and a bit narrow in their internal spacing, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and open apertures; the overall spacing reads even and controlled in text. Numerals align with the same italic slant and slabbed finishing, giving a cohesive, text-oriented set.
It performs well for continuous reading in editorial settings—books, magazines, and long-form articles—where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing stability. It can also work effectively for pull quotes, intros, and refined branding that benefits from a classic italic tone with sturdy serif definition.
The overall tone is editorial and literary, combining traditional italic elegance with the grounded firmness of slab serifs. It feels composed and trustworthy rather than flashy, suggesting a voice suited to thoughtful reading and polished publishing contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, text-friendly italic with the firmness and clarity of slab serifs, pairing traditional proportions with clean, squared serif construction for consistent texture in paragraphs.
In the sample text, the italic angle is pronounced enough to create forward momentum without becoming cursive, and the slab serifs add a clear baseline and horizontal emphasis. The glyphs keep a consistent texture across lines, with rounded letters staying generous and legible while straighter forms retain a sharp, engraved-like crispness.
