A compact italic slab serif with sturdy, squared-off feet and pronounced bracketed joins that keep the texture dense and steady. The strokes are relatively even, with gentle modulation rather than dramatic contrast, and the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters are moderately open, terminals tend to finish with blunt, slabby endings, and the overall rhythm reads slightly condensed in feel due to short extenders and tight internal spacing. The numerals are robust and text-friendly, matching the letterforms in weight and slanted posture.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic needs to carry emphasis with authority—book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, captions, and sidebars. It also works for scholarly or institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice with extra sturdiness.
The tone blends old-style editorial seriousness with a practical, workmanlike backbone. Its italic voice feels assertive and purposeful rather than decorative, evoking printed literature, academic annotation, and classic publishing conventions.
Likely intended as a text-oriented italic that preserves clarity and firmness by pairing a restrained slant with substantial slab serifs, offering a dependable emphasis style that remains legible and consistent in long-form composition.
The capitals hold firm, rectangular proportions with stable horizontals, while the lowercase maintains a cohesive italic flow without becoming calligraphic. The slab treatment adds visual anchoring at small sizes, helping the font retain presence in dense text settings.
