An italic slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a dark, even color on the page. Strokes show low contrast, with a consistent, slightly compact rhythm and pronounced slab feet that anchor letters like I, T, and Y. Curves are smooth but firmly controlled, and joins often form small wedge-like transitions that give the shapes a carved, printed feel. Uppercase proportions are stable and traditional, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable skeleton with a moderate x-height and strong vertical emphasis; numerals are similarly robust and sit confidently in text.
Works well for editorial settings where italic is used for emphasis, secondary voice, or long-form passages with a strong typographic presence. The sturdy slabs and even stroke weight make it effective in magazine features, book introductions, pull quotes, and academic or institutional communications where clarity and authority are priorities.
The overall tone is authoritative and bookish, combining a classic italic voice with the weight and blunt certainty of slabs. It feels suited to established institutions and editorial typography, projecting seriousness without becoming ornate. The slant adds motion and emphasis, while the solid serifs keep the mood grounded and dependable.
Likely designed to provide a confident italic companion with the structural reliability of slab serifs—balancing emphasis and readability. The goal appears to be a practical, print-oriented italic that maintains strong baseline grip and a consistent texture across headings and text.
Letterforms keep terminals crisp and squared-off, producing a slightly mechanical finish even as the italic construction introduces calligraphic energy. Spacing reads comfortable in the sample paragraphs, creating a steady texture appropriate for continuous reading and typographic emphasis.
