A lightly built italic slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a smooth, continuous rightward slant. Strokes are relatively even with gentle modulation, creating a clean, low-contrast rhythm. Letterforms are open and rounded, with generous counters and a slightly narrow, upright skeleton that stays readable despite the italic angle. The caps show restrained, formal proportions, while the lowercase includes a calligraphic feel in the entry/exit strokes and terminals, giving text a flowing, polished texture.
This font suits editorial layouts, magazine features, and book typography where an italic slab can add emphasis with authority. It also works well for branding and packaging that need a refined, classic tone, especially in logotypes, pull quotes, captions, and short-to-medium text settings.
The overall tone feels cultured and editorial—classic without being stiff. Its italic voice reads expressive and literary, suggesting sophistication and a mild historical flavor while remaining tidy and contemporary in its construction.
The design appears intended to blend the solidity of slab serifs with a graceful italic cadence, offering a distinctive voice for emphasis and display while retaining a composed, readable structure.
The numerals and caps maintain the same crisp serif treatment, helping headlines and short text feel cohesive. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the italic rhythm is consistent across the alphabet, producing an even color in paragraphs without looking mechanical.
