This typeface is a slanted slab serif with sturdy, largely unbracketed rectangular serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke profile. The forms lean smoothly to the right with a controlled, steady rhythm, and the letterfit feels moderately open rather than tight. Uppercase shapes are compact and traditional, while the lowercase shows clear, readable constructions with open apertures and straightforward joins. Numerals share the same slab-serif treatment and maintain an even, print-oriented color across a line.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as magazine features, book typography, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing structure. The strong slabs also make it effective for short headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that benefit from emphasis and a confident texture.
The overall tone is editorial and scholarly, combining the authority of slab serifs with an energetic, italicized forward motion. It reads as classic and formal without feeling overly delicate, giving text a confident, established voice suited to print-like typography.
The design appears intended to provide an italic companion with strong slab-serif authority, preserving readability and even color while adding forward motion for emphasis. It aims for a practical, print-oriented feel: sturdy serifs, restrained contrast, and traditional proportions that stay clear in continuous text.
The italic slant is uniform across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. Serifs and terminals stay crisp and squared, producing a stable baseline presence and a slightly mechanical precision that complements the traditional proportions.
