This typeface is a right-leaning italic slab serif with crisp, bracketed slab serifs and a subtly calligraphic stroke flow. Stems keep a steady rhythm while curves and joins show gentle modulation, giving letters a controlled, slightly pen-influenced feel rather than purely mechanical construction. Uppercase forms are wide and open with firm horizontal serifs, while the lowercase shows more movement—especially in the angled terminals, single-storey a, and the lively, looped shapes in g and y. Numerals follow the same italic slant and serif structure, with clear, traditional proportions and confident top/bottom serifs that help them sit evenly in text.
It fits well for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductory sections. The sturdy slab serifs and clear figures also suit subheads, pull quotes, and academic or cultural publishing that benefits from a classic but assertive italic.
The overall tone reads literary and cultivated, with an old-style, bookish warmth tempered by the sturdiness of slab serifs. Its italic energy adds emphasis and elegance without becoming decorative, making it feel appropriate for thoughtful, authoritative voice settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic with both elegance and firmness—combining a traditional, readable text flavor with slab-serif stability for confident emphasis in running copy and editorial settings.
Spacing appears comfortably open for an italic, supporting smooth word shapes in longer lines. The serif treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, keeping the texture even while still allowing expressive italic details in the lowercase.
