An italic slab-serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Strokes are fairly even, with subtle modulation and crisp, slightly bracketed joins that keep the forms firm without feeling mechanical. Proportions are balanced and moderately compact, with rounded bowls and steady curves contrasted by sharp, angled terminals in places. The numerals and caps hold a strong, stable silhouette, while the lowercase keeps an energetic slant and clear, open counters for continuous reading.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and feature articles where an italic voice is needed without losing structure. It can also serve effectively in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, providing emphasis with a distinctive slab-serif presence.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, combining the authority of slabs with the movement of an italic. It reads as mature and literary rather than casual, suggesting tradition and credibility while still feeling lively and expressive.
The design appears intended to merge traditional italic movement with robust slab construction, offering an emphasis style that remains solid and legible. It aims for a versatile, print-forward texture that can carry both display moments and longer passages with a cohesive, confident tone.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and spacing appears comfortable in text, producing an even texture with a pronounced forward motion. The slab details stay prominent at larger sizes, giving headlines a confident, print-like character.
