This typeface is an italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs that read as squared and sturdy at the ends of strokes. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a gently calligraphic construction, with subtly modulated curves but an overall even, low-contrast color on the page. Uppercase proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a steady rhythm; several forms show tapered joins and wedge-like entry/exit strokes that soften the slab structure. Numerals appear oldstyle-like in feel due to their slanted, text-oriented drawing and compact, editorial texture.
It suits editorial and long-form typography where an italic voice is needed with more firmness than a typical oldstyle italic—ideal for book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, and subheads. It can also work for refined branding or packaging that wants a classic, print-forward tone with strong letter presence.
The overall tone is bookish and editorial, combining traditional italic energy with a firm, dependable slab presence. It feels serious without being cold, lending a composed, slightly vintage voice that suggests print heritage and careful typesetting.
The design appears intended to blend the emphasis and motion of an italic with the stability and clarity of slab serifs, creating an expressive but readable text companion for editorial layouts. Its sturdy, square serif structure suggests an aim for strong reproduction in print while keeping a cultured, traditional character.
The serif treatment stays clean and square rather than curved, which gives headings a crisp edge even in italic. The slant and tapered terminals introduce movement and help prevent the slabs from feeling overly rigid, producing a balanced texture in continuous text.
