An italic slab-serif with gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a smooth, flowing cursive axis. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, with soft modulation and rounded joins that keep curves lively without becoming sharp. The letters show open counters and generous internal space, while terminals and serifs flare subtly to create a crisp, print-oriented edge. Overall rhythm is steady and readable, with a noticeable rightward slant and slightly varied character widths that give text a natural, bookish cadence.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, pull quotes, and italic emphasis within longer reading. It can also serve in subheads and display lines where a classic italic voice with sturdy serif presence is desired.
The tone feels literary and traditional, leaning toward refined and cultured rather than loud or decorative. Its italic energy reads expressive and elegant, suitable for emphasizing phrases while still maintaining a disciplined, workmanlike seriousness.
Likely designed to provide a dependable italic companion with slab-serif sturdiness, balancing robust serif cues with smooth, readable italics for continuous text and editorial settings.
Uppercase forms are clean and upright in structure despite the slant, and the lowercase maintains a consistent italic construction with clear differentiation in shapes like a/g/e and strong, legible numerals. The serif treatment is prominent enough to signal a slab influence, yet softened by bracketing and rounded stroke endings for a more polished texture in paragraphs.
