A slanted slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a restrained, even stroke profile. Serifs read as small, firm slabs that sit squarely on stems, giving the letterforms a sturdy base while keeping the overall texture smooth and readable. Curves are broad and open, counters are generous, and joints stay clean, producing an orderly rhythm in continuous text. Figures and capitals keep a slightly formal posture with the same consistent, squared finishing details, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a distinctive italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity—long-form reading, magazine features, essays, and report typography. It can also serve as an accent style for emphasis, pull quotes, and subheads where a confident, structured italic is desired.
The tone feels editorial and quietly traditional—more bookish than flashy—suggesting careful, composed typography. Its slanted stance adds a sense of forward motion while the slab details keep it grounded and authoritative.
Likely designed to provide a practical, readable italic companion with a firm slab-serif character, balancing traditional page typography with a slightly assertive, structured finish.
The italics appear constructed rather than calligraphic, with consistent serif treatment carried through across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing and proportions look geared toward stable word shapes and an even gray in paragraphs.
