This is an oblique slab serif with a compact horizontal footprint and crisp, unbracketed slab terminals. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, with only modest modulation, and the joins and curves feel clean and controlled rather than calligraphic. Serifs are blocky and squarely attached, giving the letters a firm baseline presence while the italic slant introduces a steady forward rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the width, and overall spacing reads tight but consistent, supporting continuous text.
It performs well in editorial typography such as magazine articles, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or secondary hierarchy. The compact width and firm serifs also make it useful for captions, sidebars, and pull quotes that need a classic, structured tone without heavy visual weight.
The font conveys a bookish, editorial tone—formal and composed, with a slightly assertive edge from the square slabs. Its slanted posture adds energy without becoming casual, resulting in a voice that feels academic and traditional, suited to refined, text-driven settings.
The design appears intended to provide an italic slab-serif voice that stays crisp and readable, combining a traditional, literary feel with the sturdiness of square serifs. It aims for a disciplined text texture that can carry long passages while still offering distinct emphasis when used as an italic companion style.
Uppercase forms appear straightforward and stable, while lowercase italics show clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably in the angled stems and compact bowls). Numerals follow the same oblique rhythm and maintain clear silhouettes, helping the font keep a coherent texture across mixed text.
