A slanted slab serif with crisp, square-ended serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes are relatively even in weight with modest modulation, producing a steady rhythm across lines of text. Proportions are generous and open, with rounded bowls, clear apertures, and a slightly airy fit that keeps the texture light on the page. The italic angle is consistent and the terminals remain clean and controlled, giving the design a disciplined, readable flow in both upper- and lowercase.
This font is well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and long-form articles—where an italic voice is needed that remains stable and readable. It can also work effectively for pull quotes, subheads, and brand language that wants a classic serif tone with a slightly contemporary slab edge.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary, blending a traditional serif voice with a brisk italic movement. It reads as composed and authoritative rather than flashy, suited to refined, text-forward design where clarity and a classic sensibility are desired.
The design appears intended as a readable italic slab serif that balances robust, squared serifs with a smooth, text-oriented rhythm. It aims to deliver a traditional, cultivated impression while maintaining clarity and consistency in continuous reading.
Figures appear slanted to match the text and lean toward an oldstyle feel, helping them blend smoothly into running copy. The slab serifs stay square and unbracketed even in curved letters, reinforcing a sturdy, structured personality without adding heaviness.
