An italic slab serif with firm, square-ended serifs and minimal stroke modulation, giving it a steady, low-contrast texture. The letterforms lean consistently and show crisp, unbracketed slab joins that read as sturdy without feeling heavy. Counters are open and the curves are smoothly drawn, while terminals often resolve into sharp, slightly calligraphic points that add motion. Numerals and capitals feel well-proportioned and slightly varied in footprint, contributing to a lively rhythm in lines of text.
It works well for editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles—especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. The stable slab structure also suits subheads and pull quotes that need presence without overt boldness.
The overall tone is editorial and bookish, combining traditional serif authority with a brisk italic energy. It feels confident and literary rather than decorative, with a composed, scholarly character suited to long-form reading and thoughtful branding.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic companion with the sturdiness of slabs: a readable, text-forward italic that maintains a strong baseline and consistent color while still providing expressive forward movement.
In text, the italic angle and pointed terminals create a clear forward flow, while the slab serifs keep lines anchored and stable. The mix of crisp slabs and gently tapered strokes adds nuance without introducing high-contrast fragility.
