A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, mostly square-ended serifs and a smooth, low-contrast stroke. The forms show a subtle calligraphic influence: gentle curvature through bowls and joints, slightly sheared stress, and crisp, wedge-like entry/exit shapes in places. Uppercase proportions feel classical and stable, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable rhythm with clear apertures and rounded counters. Numerals are clear and conventional, matching the same firm serif treatment and maintaining even color across a line of text.
Performs well in editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes—where a textured slab-serif italic can carry long lines with personality. It also suits branding and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice, and works for short headlines or subheads that need emphasis without high-contrast delicacy.
The overall tone is literary and authoritative, with an energetic italic slant that adds momentum without becoming flamboyant. It reads as confident and established—suited to contexts that want tradition plus a bit of motion.
Likely designed to deliver a readable italic slab-serif with a firm, traditional backbone and an animated, editorial cadence. The emphasis appears to be on even typographic color and dependable letterforms, paired with enough slant and serif presence to stand out in mixed typography.
Serifs appear consistently weighty and well integrated into stems, giving the face a strong baseline and a grounded texture in paragraphs. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, helping emphasis and voice while keeping word shapes familiar.
