A right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and a compact, workmanlike stance. Strokes are fairly even with modest modulation, and the slabs read thick and supportive, giving the letters a strong baseline and clear silhouettes. The italic construction uses consistent, slightly angular joins and ends, with a steady rhythm in text. Counters are moderately open, and proportions feel slightly compact, helping the face hold together in dense settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, newspaper features, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed with strong structure and presence. Its stout serifs and steady rhythm also fit packaging, pull quotes, and branding systems that want a classic italic with a robust, tactile feel.
The overall tone is editorial and traditional, combining a practical, no-nonsense sturdiness with a refined, bookish italic flavor. It suggests reliability and authority rather than delicacy, lending a classic but grounded voice to headlines and running text alike.
The design appears intended to provide an italic that remains highly legible and authoritative while preserving the solid, engineered feel of a slab serif. It prioritizes consistency and text rhythm, aiming for dependable performance in print-like contexts and typographic systems with a traditional editorial character.
Uppercase forms feel assertive and stable, while the lowercase maintains a readable cadence with a clear, continuous slant. Numerals match the same firm, slabbed finishing, keeping a consistent texture alongside text.
