A slanted slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a clean, controlled rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even, with only modest modulation, and the forms favor open counters and clear apertures. The italic construction reads as a true drawn italic rather than a simple slant, with lively entry/exit strokes and a slightly calligraphic flow. Capitals are crisp and upright in structure, while lowercase shows more motion and soft curvature; numerals follow the same steady, understated tone.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or extended reading. It can also suit refined headings, pull quotes, and credits where a distinctive but restrained serif character is desirable.
The overall tone is bookish and editorial—polished but not flashy—suggesting credibility and restraint. Its italic energy adds a subtle sense of movement and elegance, making it feel appropriate for thoughtful, text-forward communication rather than loud display.
Likely intended as an italic companion for text settings that need clarity and a confident slab-serif presence without heaviness. The design aims to combine the stability of squared serifs with an elegant, readable italic flow for editorial and literary use.
Serifs appear consistently squared and sturdy at the ends, helping the letters sit firmly on the line even in italic. Spacing reads airy and orderly in the grid, and the text sample shows a smooth word shape with a gentle, continuous slant.
