A slanted slab serif with unbracketed, blocky serifs and a crisp, pen-influenced construction. Strokes stay relatively even, while terminals often taper into subtle wedges that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. The uppercase forms feel tall and composed with open counters, and the italic slant is consistent across letters and figures, creating a smooth rightward rhythm. Lowercase shapes read as traditional and bookish, with a moderate x-height and long, gently curved extenders; overall spacing produces an airy, readable color in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features, especially where an italic texture is desired for the primary voice or for frequent emphasis. It also works for refined headings, pull quotes, and captions that benefit from a sturdy serif footprint without a heavy overall feel.
The font conveys an educated, editorial tone—confident and traditional, with a hint of calligraphic warmth from its tapered joins and angled stress. It feels at home in literary contexts, where a refined italic voice is meant to sound deliberate rather than decorative.
Designed to provide a readable, characterful italic slab voice that balances structural sturdiness (through firm, unbracketed slabs) with a more handwritten flow (through tapered terminals and smooth curves). The overall intention appears to be an editorial workhorse with a distinctive, literary cadence.
Serifs are squarely attached and visibly present even at smaller sizes, giving the face a firm baseline and strong word shapes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same italic cadence, helping mixed text feel coherent rather than patched together.
