A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and prominent, blocky serifs that read as flat and confident. The letterforms are wide and evenly paced, giving the line a steady, mechanical rhythm, while the italic angle introduces forward motion. Terminals and serifs are crisp and rectangular, with modest rounding at joins; counters stay open and shapes remain clear at text sizes. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with smooth curves and consistent weight distribution.
It suits extended reading in editorial and academic contexts where an italic is needed without losing firmness or structure. The even rhythm and sturdy slabs also make it useful for technical documentation, tabular material, and code-like settings where consistent spacing and clear character shapes are priorities.
The overall tone feels practical and literate—like a dependable editorial italic with a hint of typewriter utility. It carries a classic, scholarly voice, but the strong slabs and steady spacing also lend it a matter-of-fact, technical personality.
The design appears intended to combine the solidity and legibility of a slab serif with the emphasis and flow of an italic, while maintaining a highly regular, workmanlike texture. It aims for reliability in continuous text and structured layouts rather than delicate contrast or ornate detailing.
In the text sample, the spacing stays very even from character to character, reinforcing a disciplined texture. The italic slant is noticeable but not calligraphic, prioritizing clarity and regularity over expressive stroke modulation.
