A sturdy italic slab-serif with broad proportions and a relaxed, readable rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation and softly bracketed slab serifs that feel square-ended rather than sharp. The curves are round and generous, counters remain open, and joins show slight notches that add an inked, print-like texture. Uppercase forms are stable and compact while the lowercase is more expressive, with a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a descender on “q” that gives the line a lively cadence. Numerals are clear and substantial, matching the letterweight and maintaining strong presence in text.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine spreads, and book-cover typography where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing weight or clarity. It also works for branding and packaging that want a vintage or scholarly flavor, and for pull quotes or short blocks of text where a strong typographic personality is desirable.
The tone blends old-school print character with an editorial, bookish confidence. Its italic slant reads energetic and conversational, while the slab structure keeps it grounded and authoritative. Overall it suggests vintage publishing, academic headings, and heritage branding without feeling delicate or fussy.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust italic with slab-serif authority—combining broad, approachable shapes with print-oriented details for confident, high-impact reading in both display and large text settings.
Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, and the wide set gives words a strong silhouette at display sizes. The italic construction is consistent across cases, producing a cohesive forward motion in headlines and pull quotes.
