A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a largely low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms are slightly condensed in feel with a steady rhythm, and the italics rely on a consistent forward angle rather than calligraphic modulation. Curves are broad and smooth (notably in C, O, and G), counters stay open, and joins read cleanly at text sizes. Serifs are thick and supportive with softened corners, giving stems and crossbars a solid, anchored presence without looking overly rigid.
Well-suited for continuous reading in editorial layouts such as books, magazines, and reports, where the slabs help maintain clarity and a consistent typographic color. It also works well for pull quotes, captions, and headings that need a traditional, authoritative italic without drifting into decorative territory.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting familiar print typography with a practical, readable voice. It feels earnest and dependable, with enough italic energy to add emphasis while remaining composed and bookish rather than flashy.
Likely designed as a reliable italic companion in a slab-serif system, prioritizing steady texture, clear word shapes, and practical readability for print-like settings. The emphasis appears to be on a familiar, workhorse tone with durable serifs and minimal stylistic quirks.
Capitals maintain a calm, traditional silhouette, while lowercase forms stay straightforward and legible with minimal idiosyncrasy. Numerals appear sturdy and clear, matching the slab-serif architecture and maintaining an even visual color alongside text.
