A right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and mostly flat-ended terminals, giving a firm baseline and a steady typographic color. Strokes are fairly even with gentle modulation, and many joins show subtle bracketing that softens the otherwise squared-off structure. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a slightly calligraphic, oblique rhythm; curves are smooth and the italics feel drawn rather than mechanically slanted. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, with clear shapes and consistent serif treatment that keeps them coherent in text.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, magazines, and essays where an italic slab can deliver both readability and personality. It can also work effectively in brand systems that want a classic, educated tone—especially for headlines, pull quotes, and typographic lockups that benefit from a distinctive italic rhythm.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, combining a confident, old-style warmth with the authority of slabs. It reads as composed and editorial—serious without feeling rigid—suggesting careful craftsmanship and a measured, literary voice.
The design appears intended to merge the expressive cadence of an italic with the structural reassurance of slab serifs, creating a typeface that feels traditional, dependable, and articulate in extended text. Its combination of firm terminals and smooth, slightly calligraphic movement suggests a focus on refined editorial communication rather than overt display novelty.
Uppercase forms maintain a calm, classical stance while the lowercase introduces more movement through the italic flow and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, and the slab serifs add emphasis and stability that can lend presence to headings as well as text.
