A compact, right-leaning serif with sturdy slab-like, bracketed terminals and a low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms show crisp, square-leaning finishing details, with slightly tapered joins and a steady, print-like rhythm. Counters are moderately open for an italic, and the overall proportions stay tight and economical, giving text a dense, continuous texture without feeling heavy.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic voice needs to carry weight—magazine features, book typography, and emphasis in long-form text. The compact width and firm serifs also make it effective for short headlines, pull quotes, and traditional print layouts where a dense, authoritative tone is desired.
The tone is classic and editorial, evoking traditional book typography and newspaper-style emphasis. Its italic slant and robust serifs add a confident, slightly old-world voice that reads as serious and literary rather than playful.
Likely intended as a robust italic companion with a classic slab-serif backbone—designed to provide emphatic, readable texture while preserving a compact, economical footprint on the line.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent texture across mixed case, with capitals that feel strong and upright in construction despite the slant. Numerals share the same stout, serifed personality, reinforcing a cohesive, traditional typographic color.
