A slanted slab-serif with sharp, unbracketed serifs and a clean, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with subtle tapering at joins, producing a refined but sturdy texture. The letterforms are fairly narrow with open apertures and compact bowls, and the italics feel drawn rather than mechanically skewed. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, upright structure while keeping the same forward-leaning stance and crisp terminals.
It suits editorial typography where a distinctive italic is desired—magazine layouts, pull quotes, and book or article titles. The sturdy slabs and crisp detailing also work well for display lines on posters, packaging, and branding that aims for a classic, print-forward look.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, pairing a bookish voice with a faint vintage flavor. Its angled stance and squared serifs give it authority without feeling heavy, suggesting traditional print craft and understated sophistication.
The design appears intended to blend the firmness of a slab-serif structure with an expressive italic cadence, offering a readable text color with extra character for emphasis. It prioritizes crisp joins, squared serifs, and a disciplined slant to project clarity and confidence in both display and longer lines.
Diagonal strokes and joins are kept tight and controlled, which creates a slightly condensed, energetic line. The slab serifs read as squared and purposeful rather than decorative, helping the design stay clear in text while still showing personality in headings.
