A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and gently rounded joins that keep the texture smooth and readable. Strokes stay fairly even, with only subtle modulation, and terminals are clean and decisively serifed rather than tapered. Proportions feel traditionally book-oriented: moderate x-height, open counters, and a steady rhythm in text, while capitals remain broad and clear without looking rigid.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine text where an italic slab can provide emphasis while remaining highly readable. It can also serve in branding and packaging that wants a classic print voice with a sturdy, grounded finish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional print typography with a slightly relaxed, human touch. Its italic angle adds a sense of movement and emphasis without becoming flamboyant, making it feel dependable yet personable.
Likely drawn as a practical italic companion for text-centric slab-serif typography, aiming to deliver emphasis and flow while keeping a consistent, workhorse texture. The design balances traditional forms with robust serifs to stay stable in continuous reading.
The numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders and descenders), reinforcing a text-first, editorial character. Serifs read as confident and supportive, helping maintain legibility in longer lines while preserving a familiar, timeless color on the page.
