A compact italic slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a clean, disciplined construction. Strokes show modest modulation and a steady rhythm, with crisp terminals and a slightly calligraphic slant that reads as purposeful rather than decorative. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and classical, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with modest extenders and an even texture across words. Numerals match the text style closely, appearing straightforward and consistent in weight and color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, longform essays, and academic or cultural publishing where a sturdy italic is needed for emphasis. It can also serve effectively in pull quotes, subheads, and captions when a compact, structured italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is editorial and literary: confident, traditional, and a bit formal. Its italic voice suggests emphasis with restraint—more “print sophistication” than flamboyance—making it feel suitable for serious, text-forward settings.
Likely designed to provide a practical, readable italic companion with the firmness of slab serifs and a restrained, print-oriented character. The aim appears to balance economy of space with a stable, traditional tone for continuous reading and editorial emphasis.
Spacing and proportions create a tight, economical line that holds together well in continuous text. The slab serifs add a firm baseline and a slightly authoritative presence without becoming heavy or rustic.
