A slanted serif with sturdy, slab-like serifs and gently rounded joins that keep the letterforms from feeling harsh. Strokes are fairly even in thickness, with subtle modulation and clear, bracketed connections into the serifs. The design reads slightly expanded and generously spaced, with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and authoritative, while the lowercase shows smooth, flowing construction with a single-storey “a” and a pronounced italic movement throughout.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is used for emphasis or continuous reading. It can also suit branding and packaging that want a classic, print-era sensibility with confident serifs and clear word shapes.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, evoking printed literature, academic publishing, and classic editorial typography. Its strong serifs add authority, while the rounded shaping and italic slant lend a courteous, expressive voice suited to emphasis and narrative text.
Likely designed as a readable, text-focused italic that pairs sturdy slab-like serifs with softened details to maintain warmth on the page. The goal appears to be a confident, traditional tone that remains smooth and legible in longer settings while still feeling distinctly italic.
Figures match the italic character and maintain the same robust serif treatment, giving mixed alphanumeric settings a cohesive texture. The ampersand and curved lowercase forms contribute a slightly old-style, text-oriented flavor even though the serifs remain bold and structured.
