A right-leaning serif with sturdy, slab-like feet and subtly bracketed joins. Strokes stay fairly even with gentle modulation, giving a steady color on the page while retaining a slightly calligraphic liveliness. Serifs are crisp and squared off, and many letters show angled entry/exit strokes that sharpen the italic rhythm. Counters are open and the overall set feels generously proportioned, supporting comfortable word shapes in running text and captions.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a continuous italic style is desired. It also performs nicely in pull quotes, subheads, and refined headlines, where the slab serifs and even color keep lines authoritative and legible.
The tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial polish that reads as confident and slightly old-world. Its italic energy adds momentum and emphasis without becoming flashy, making it feel appropriate for serious, crafted typography rather than casual or playful settings.
Likely designed to provide a robust, readable italic with slab-like grounding—combining the stability of square serifs with the forward motion of an italic for editorial and literary composition.
The alphabet shows consistent slanted construction across capitals and lowercase, with a clear separation between round and straight forms and a stable baseline presence reinforced by the slab serifs. Numerals follow the same italic slant and maintain clear, readable silhouettes suited to mixed text-and-number settings.
