A forward-leaning slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a dark, even color. Strokes show low contrast with gently rounded joins, while terminals stay crisp and squared off, giving the face a firm baseline and clear horizontal emphasis. Counters are open and proportions feel generous, with a slightly lively rhythm from the italic construction and subtly varied letter widths. The numerals and capitals maintain the same strong serifed structure, producing a consistent, confident texture in both display lines and text settings.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, and subheads, while still maintaining strong readability. Its sturdy serifs and even color also make it a good fit for magazine headlines, classic packaging, and brand systems that want a traditional, print-forward feel.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, combining the authority of a slab serif with the motion and elegance of an italic. It reads as classic and slightly old-world—appropriate for contexts that want seriousness without becoming rigid or overly ornamental.
Likely designed to provide an italic slab serif that can carry longer passages with a consistent, sturdy texture while offering a distinctive, traditional tone. The combination of firm slab serifs and smooth italic drawing suggests an aim for readable emphasis and refined editorial character rather than a purely decorative accent.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to add momentum, yet the serifs keep forms grounded and stable. Rounded curves in letters like C, O, and S contrast with the squared serif geometry, creating a balanced mix of softness and structure.
