An italic slab-serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and a smooth, low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms lean with a consistent forward angle, pairing broad curves with crisp, slightly squared terminals. Serifs are prominent and mostly flat-ended, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins from feeling abrupt. Counters are open and proportions feel steady, while the overall rhythm remains lively due to the italic flow and the firm serif accents.
It suits editorial applications where an italic needs strong presence—magazines, book typography, and feature layouts. The sturdy slab serifs and even stroke color make it effective for headlines and pull quotes, and it can also function as an emphatic companion italic within longer reading contexts.
The tone is bookish and editorial, combining a traditional italic voice with a confident, workmanlike solidity. It reads as serious and composed rather than decorative, with just enough sharpness to feel assertive and contemporary in texture.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable italic with pronounced slab-serif authority, balancing traditional serif construction with a sharper, more structured finish. It prioritizes consistent texture and a confident typographic voice that remains readable while standing out.
Capitals maintain a clean, formal structure, while the lowercase shows a more written, energetic cadence—noticeable in the italic movement of stems and the crisp finishing on diagonals. Numerals match the text color closely, keeping a consistent density and presence alongside letters.
