An italic slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The letterforms lean consistently, with crisp joins and slightly sculpted transitions that keep counters open and readable. Serifs read as robust and mostly square-ended, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) stay smooth and controlled. The lowercase is compact and workmanlike, with a single-storey a and g, a narrow, angled f, and a pronounced, descending q; overall spacing and rhythm feel even and text-ready.
This face suits editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and long-form essays where an italic voice is needed but still must hold up at reading sizes. It also works well for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging copy that benefits from a confident, traditional italic with strong serifs.
The tone is classic and editorial, mixing practicality with a subtle old-style warmth. It feels disciplined and authoritative without becoming overly ornate, lending a quietly traditional, bookish character.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable italic companion with slab-serif solidity—combining clear text rhythm, restrained contrast, and firm terminals to maintain legibility while adding emphasis and personality.
Uppercase proportions are stable and slightly wide in feel due to strong serifs and broad curves, while the italic stance adds forward motion and emphasis. Figures are straightforward and sturdy, matching the same slabbed, low-contrast construction seen in the letters.
