A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins that keep the forms smooth rather than rigid. Strokes are relatively even with modest modulation, and the italic construction introduces curved entry/exit strokes and a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally balanced with moderate counters; the lowercase shows compact, slightly lively shapes, while capitals stay composed and upright in structure despite the overall slant. Figures are similarly italicized, with clear, open forms and consistent serif treatment that helps them sit comfortably in text.
Well suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or secondary text in books and magazines. It can also serve in academic or formal documents where a traditional, readable italic is preferred, and it scales nicely for pull quotes and subheads that benefit from a sturdy serif presence.
The font reads as literary and editorial, pairing a traditional serif voice with the energy of an italic. It feels confident and scholarly rather than decorative, with a calm, established tone that suggests print heritage and careful typesetting.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable italic companion with a strong slab-serif backbone—balancing classic proportions and readability with an expressive slant for emphasis in long-form settings.
In running text the italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis clearly, while the slab serifs keep lines grounded and stable. The varied character widths add a natural texture across words, and the overall spacing feels geared toward continuous reading rather than tight display packing.
