An italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed square terminals and a clean, lightly modulated stroke. The letterforms lean with a steady, controlled slant and show sharp, flat serifs that read as small horizontal blades on many capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and open, while joins and terminals stay firm and rectilinear, creating a clear serif rhythm without heavy mass. Proportions feel traditionally structured, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a restrained, even texture in text.
Works well for editorial settings where italic is used frequently—magazine features, essays, book typography, and long-form passages that need a refined voice. It’s also a strong choice for quotations, pull quotes, and captions where a distinctive italic texture can add hierarchy without overpowering surrounding text.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, combining the poise of an italic book face with the assertiveness of crisp slab serifs. It suggests classic editorial typography—measured, articulate, and slightly dramatic—suited to elegant emphasis rather than loud display.
Likely designed to provide a readable, classic italic with the distinctive punctuation of slab serifs—balancing traditional typographic manners with crisp, square-ended detailing for a recognizable editorial color.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm remain calm and readable, with the slab terminals adding a subtle mechanical edge to what otherwise feels like a pen-informed italic. Numerals follow the same italic cadence and maintain clear, straightforward silhouettes.
