A right-leaning slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, even stroke rhythm. The letterforms are relatively tall and compact, with restrained modulation and a consistent diagonal stress that keeps counters open and predictable. Serifs read as firm, squared-off slabs with occasional wedge-like shaping on diagonals, giving capitals a slightly chiseled feel while lowercase maintains a steady, text-oriented cadence. Numerals are similarly slender and upright in construction but follow the same italic slant, keeping the set cohesive in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, essays, and other text-heavy layouts where an italic serif is needed for continuous reading. It can also work effectively for pull quotes, headlines that require a refined slanted voice, and brand systems seeking a crisp, structured serif with clear terminals.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary, combining a classic serif voice with a sharper, more contemporary edge. Its italic posture adds motion and emphasis without becoming decorative, suggesting seriousness, clarity, and a measured elegance suited to long-form reading.
Likely designed to provide a readable, text-capable italic slab serif that balances traditional proportions with firm, unbracketed serifs for a more assertive texture. The intent appears focused on delivering consistent rhythm in paragraphs while retaining enough character for editorial display moments.
Spacing appears disciplined and even, supporting smooth word shapes in paragraphs. The italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, and the slab terminals help maintain definition at smaller sizes while preserving a clean silhouette in larger settings.
