A slanted slab serif with crisp, square-ended serifs and a calm, even rhythm across lines. Strokes are relatively uniform with subtle modulation, giving the letterforms a clean, lightly calligraphic feel rather than heavy engraving contrast. Proportions are moderately narrow with open counters and generous interior space, while ascenders and capitals feel tall and elegant. The italic construction is consistent and legible, with clear punctuation, straightforward numerals, and a restrained, tidy finish at terminals.
Works well for editorial typography where an italic voice is used prominently—introductions, sidebars, pull quotes, and longer passages that need a refined slanted serif. It can also serve for academic or literary materials, packaging or branding that wants a classic serif tone with a distinctive italic character.
The overall tone reads cultivated and bookish, pairing traditional serif cues with an energetic italic slant. It feels formal without being rigid, suggesting editorial polish, academic credibility, and a quietly expressive voice suited to thoughtful reading.
Likely designed to provide a readable, traditional italic with the added stability of slab serifs, balancing elegance with a structured, contemporary firmness. The goal appears to be a versatile italic that can carry both extended text and emphasized passages while maintaining a consistent typographic color.
The unbracketed slab serifs add a slightly architectural firmness that keeps the italic from feeling overly delicate. In text, the spacing and shapes maintain a smooth texture, with enough individuality in the italic forms to provide emphasis without turning into display mannerisms.
