A slanted slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals that read as small rectangular feet and caps on many strokes. The letterforms show gently modulated, low-contrast strokes and a smooth, slightly calligraphic rhythm, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep counters airy. Proportions feel moderately narrow and efficient, with a steady baseline and a clean, even texture in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same understated, upright-to-oblique construction, pairing simple shapes with clear, bookish spacing.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed with strong readability. It can also serve in branding and packaging for a restrained, premium feel, and works nicely for pull quotes, captions, and subheads that benefit from a crisp, slanted emphasis.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial—polished without feeling ornate. Its italic motion adds a sense of forward movement and sophistication, while the slab details keep it grounded and practical. The impression is calm and readable, leaning toward literary and magazine styling rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to blend an italic, humanist flow with the sturdiness and clarity of slab serifs. It aims to deliver a refined, modern reading experience—distinctive in detail yet controlled enough to maintain an even, dependable text color over multiple lines.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V/W/X/Y and the italics’ entry/exit behavior) give the face a lively cadence, while the squared serif treatment adds structure at small sizes. Curves are broadly rounded and consistent, helping words form a smooth, continuous line in running text.
