A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, mostly square-ended serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke profile. The forms are built on broad, slightly compressed curves with clear, bracketed joins into the serifs, giving the letters a solid, anchored feel despite the italic angle. Counters stay fairly open, while terminals often finish with crisp, flattened cuts that emphasize the slab structure. The rhythm is steady and text-oriented, with a practical, print-like texture and modest width variation across characters.
It performs well for editorial typography—magazine text, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic is used for emphasis or tone. The sturdy slabs and controlled texture also make it suitable for pull quotes, headlines in moderate sizes, and branding that wants a classic, print-rooted voice.
The font reads as editorial and traditional, with a bookish tone that feels dependable rather than decorative. Its italic voice suggests emphasis and narrative flow, conveying a composed, slightly formal character suited to established brands and publishing contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, readable italic slab-serif that maintains strong structure and even color in text. It balances traditional lettershapes with firm slab terminals to deliver emphasis that remains calm and typographically disciplined.
Lowercase shapes show a conventional italic construction with single-storey a and g, and a straightforward, readable skeleton. Numerals appear slightly oldstyle in feel, sitting comfortably with the text color and reinforcing a literary, typeset impression. Overall spacing and proportions favor continuous reading over display flair.
