This is a slanted slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a consistent, low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms are compact and slightly narrow in their internal spaces, with crisp joins and firmly cut serifs that read as rectangular blocks rather than tapered wedges. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) stay smooth and controlled, while the italic construction introduces gentle entry/exit strokes and a forward rhythm. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the text face’s straightforward proportions and restrained detailing.
It suits long-form editorial settings such as books, magazines, and essays where an italic with firm, stable serifs is needed for emphasis. It can also work well for pull quotes, captions, and academic-style typography where a serious, print-oriented italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial, with a disciplined, typeset quality reminiscent of traditional print. Its slanted posture adds energy without becoming expressive or decorative, keeping the voice serious and credible. The slab serifs lend a subtle robustness that reads as confident and workmanlike.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, print-minded italic companion with the sturdiness and clarity of slab serifs, balancing forward motion with controlled, traditional letter shaping. It prioritizes steady texture and decisive terminals for reliable emphasis within text-heavy layouts.
The sample text shows even spacing and a steady horizontal color, with serifs providing a clear baseline/roofline structure that helps words hold together in continuous reading. Distinctive italic shapes (such as the single-storey a and the curved j with a pronounced tail) reinforce the intended italic texture rather than a simple oblique slant.
