A slanted slab-serif with a crisp, lightly constructed skeleton and square-ended serifs that read clean and unbracketed. Strokes keep an even, low-contrast rhythm, while gentle curvature and slight stroke tapering at joins give the shapes a written, oblique feel rather than purely mechanical construction. Proportions are on the generous side with roomy counters and clear apertures; uppercase forms are rounded and open, and lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture. Numerals follow the same slanted, lightly serifed logic, with smooth curves and consistent weight.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and essays where an italic voice is needed across longer passages. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and refined branding or packaging that benefits from a structured yet personable serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and literary—suggesting editorial polish with a subtle vintage or academic flavor. The italic angle and steady slab details convey motion and emphasis without becoming flamboyant, making it feel poised, articulate, and slightly old-world.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity and sturdiness of slab serifs with the expressive cadence of an oblique text face. It aims to provide an italic that remains readable and composed in continuous text while still offering a distinctive, cultured character for emphasis and display.
In text, the font produces an even gray value with noticeable forward momentum from the slant. Rounded bowls and open forms keep long lines comfortable, while the slab serifs add structure that helps characters hold their shape at display sizes and in emphasis settings.
