A slanted slab serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and an overall broad stance. Strokes remain fairly even, with gently tapered joins and slight softening at corners that keeps the forms from feeling rigid. The capitals are clean and upright in construction but consistently italicized, while the lowercase shows readable, open counters and a steady rhythm through rounded forms like o, e, and c. Numerals are clear and robust, with simple, practical shapes that match the heavy-footed serif treatment.
It suits editorial settings where a distinctive italic voice is useful—magazine features, book-jacket typography, pull quotes, and attention-getting subheads. The sturdy slabs and open forms also make it effective for short paragraphs and lead-ins where readability and emphasis need to coexist.
The tone is assertive and editorial—classic enough for long-form reading, but with a brisk italic energy that adds urgency and personality. Its slab structure suggests reliability and seriousness, while the wide, open shapes keep it approachable and highly legible.
The design appears intended to merge the dependability of a slab serif with the momentum of an italic, creating a voice that reads confidently in print-like contexts. It prioritizes strong word shapes, clear counters, and a consistent serif footprint for a grounded, authoritative typographic color.
The overall texture is dark and stable without looking compressed, and the italic angle reads more like a purposeful, text-oriented slant than a calligraphic script influence. Serifs land with a crisp, squared presence, giving lines a strong baseline and a slightly vintage print feel.
