An italic slab serif with sturdy, squared serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke pattern. The letterforms lean consistently with crisp, flat-ended terminals and modest bracketing where stems meet serifs, giving a controlled, engineered feel rather than a swashy one. Counters are fairly open, curves are smooth and restrained, and the overall rhythm is even, with clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase and a conventional, readable proportion set.
Well-suited for book and long-form italics, including emphasis within text, quotations, and editorial typography where an italic needs to stay legible and grounded. It can also support magazine layouts and publishing systems that benefit from a strong, consistent italic companion for headings, standfirsts, and pull quotes.
The tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting printed pages, literature, and academic contexts. Its italic voice feels deliberate and composed—more confident and utilitarian than decorative—adding emphasis while keeping a sober, authoritative character.
Likely drawn to provide a dependable italic with slab-serif backbone—an emphasis style that preserves clarity and typographic seriousness. The design emphasizes consistent slant, sturdy terminals, and an even text color to perform reliably in continuous reading and structured editorial layouts.
The uppercase set reads clean and structured, while the lowercase maintains an orderly cadence with compact joins and simple, workmanlike details. Numerals follow the same italic slant and sturdy construction, reinforcing a cohesive texture for mixed text.
