This is an italic slab serif with crisp, square-ended serifs that meet the stems cleanly, creating a firm baseline and a tidy, engineered finish. Strokes are generally even and controlled, with a modest taper and clear, open counters; the overall rhythm is steady and legible rather than calligraphic. Uppercase forms are slightly narrow and upright in presence despite the slant, while the lowercase shows a tall, readable x-height and compact ascenders/descenders that keep lines of text cohesive. The numerals share the same disciplined, lightly constructed feel, with simple shapes and consistent terminals.
It suits editorial typography, book and magazine text, and other long-form reading contexts where an italic is needed for emphasis while remaining composed and highly readable. It also works well for pull quotes, intros, and academic or literary material that benefits from a formal italic voice.
The font conveys a cultured, editorial tone—polished and traditional, but with a quiet modern restraint. Its italic angle adds motion and elegance without becoming flamboyant, making it feel appropriate for thoughtful, text-forward settings.
The design appears intended as a text-oriented italic slab serif: to provide a distinctive but disciplined emphasis style that keeps paragraphs stable, maintains consistent rhythm, and reads cleanly at typical text sizes.
The slanted forms maintain a consistent angle across letters and figures, and the square serifs help anchor the italic so it remains stable in paragraph settings. Curves (such as in C, O, and e) are smooth and unshowy, emphasizing clarity over ornament.
