A slanted slab serif with crisp, square-ended, unbracketed serifs and a clean, even stroke rhythm. The design favors narrow, slightly tapered joins and smoothly drawn curves, keeping contrast restrained while still showing an angled, italic stress. Counters are open and proportions feel traditional, with modestly tall ascenders/descenders and a steady baseline presence. Numerals and capitals maintain the same disciplined structure, giving the face a consistent, orderly texture across mixed text.
Well-suited to editorial and book-oriented typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It can also serve in magazine features, captions, and literary branding where a traditional slab serif feel is desired without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is literary and composed, evoking traditional print typography with a refined, editorial character. Its italic slant and tidy slab terminals add a sense of motion while staying formal and controlled, making it feel authoritative rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, classic italic with sturdy slab serifs—combining the clarity and structure of a slab serif with the directional flow of italics for nuanced hierarchy in text settings.
Letterforms show a measured, classical construction with restrained ornament: terminals are firm and squared, and curves are drawn with a deliberate, pen-like modulation rather than high-contrast calligraphy. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, producing an even color in the sample text.
