A slanted slab serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and subtly bracketed joins. Strokes are largely even with gentle modulation, while terminals and serifs finish with crisp, flat ends that keep the texture firm and deliberate. The letters show a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction—noticeable in the angled entry/exit strokes and the softly curved bowls—balanced by a controlled rhythm and moderate spacing for continuous text.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic with strong structure is needed. It can also work effectively for pull quotes, headings with a literary tone, and brand or packaging applications aiming for a classic, print-forward character.
The overall tone feels editorial and bookish, with a composed, traditional voice. Its italic slant adds motion and emphasis without becoming flamboyant, giving it a scholarly, slightly old-world flavor that still reads clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to combine the authority and stability of slab serifs with the expressiveness of an italic, producing an emphasis style that remains legible and anchored in text typography.
Capital forms lean stately and restrained, while the lowercase has a more conversational flow; together they create a clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the text color and weight well, keeping a consistent typographic texture across alphanumerics.
