A slanted slab-serif with broad proportions, sturdy rectangular serifs, and mostly low-contrast strokes that still show a subtle diagonal stress. The serifs read as firmly planted and slightly bracketed, giving the shapes a stable footing while keeping joins smooth. Letterforms are generously spaced with open apertures and counters, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and O) stay round and readable rather than rigidly geometric. The italics are constructed rather than script-like, with crisp entry/exit strokes and occasional wedge-like details that add snap at the ends and joints.
This font fits well in editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors with italic emphasis, and section heads where a strong serif voice is desired. Its wide stance and bold-ish slab presence also suit pull quotes, posters, and brand wordmarks that need a classic, authoritative feel with a hint of motion.
The overall tone is editorial and literate—serious enough for long-form reading, but with an energetic, forward-leaning cadence. It feels confident and traditional without becoming ornate, lending a subtle sense of motion and emphasis that suits commentary and headlines alike.
The design appears intended to combine the solidity of slab serifs with a readable, modern italic construction—delivering emphasis and momentum while preserving a composed, text-friendly rhythm. It aims to be versatile for editorial typography, providing both firmness and warmth through open shapes and controlled detailing.
Capitals are broad and authoritative, while the lowercase maintains a clear, steady texture with a moderate x-height and pronounced italic movement. Numerals appear straightforward and sturdy, matching the serif weight and maintaining good clarity at display sizes.
