A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, squared serifs and a generally even, low-contrast stroke model. The letterforms show a moderate italic construction with smooth curves and bracketed joins, giving serifs a planted, supportive feel rather than hairline delicacy. Counters are open and proportions feel comfortable for continuous reading, with round forms staying generous and capitals remaining clear and measured. Numerals follow the same steady, slightly calligraphic rhythm, with firm horizontals and consistent weight across the set.
Well suited to body copy and long-form editorial settings where an italic needs to remain readable and structured. It also fits pull quotes, intros, and academic or literary layouts that benefit from a traditional serif voice with clear emphasis signaling.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, pairing traditional book typography cues with a brisk italic energy. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with enough assertiveness in the slabs to feel authoritative without becoming heavy or ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable italic companion in a slab-serif voice—balancing a readable text texture with firm, square-ended serifs and a restrained, low-contrast structure. It aims for clarity and authority in print-like typography rather than decorative display effects.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis in text, while the slab serifs keep lines visually anchored and help maintain clarity at smaller sizes. Curves and diagonals feel smooth and controlled, suggesting a design aimed at stable texture rather than high drama.
