A slanted slab-serif with crisp, square-ended serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes stay relatively even, with subtle modulation and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly in text. The letterforms show a traditional italic structure with flowing curves, open counters, and slightly tapered entry/exit strokes that soften the slabs. Proportions feel balanced and moderately compact, with clear differentiation in capitals and well-shaped numerals that align comfortably with the text color.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine/editorial layouts, where an italic slab can add texture and emphasis without sacrificing clarity. It also works nicely for pull quotes, captions, and subheads when a classic but distinctive slanted voice is desired.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, pairing a classic book-typography feel with a slightly lively, handwritten inflection. It comes across as confident and cultivated rather than loud, adding warmth without becoming decorative or playful.
Designed to deliver an italic text experience with sturdy slab serifs and a refined, print-oriented rhythm, combining traditional letterform cues with clean, square terminals for a composed, contemporary finish.
Serifs are pronounced enough to anchor lines and guide horizontal flow, while the italic slant keeps paragraphs energetic. Curves (notably in rounds like C/O and lowercase bowls) are smooth and open, supporting readability and an even grayscale at typical text sizes.
