A slanted serif with sturdy, slab-like feet and mostly square-ended terminals, giving the strokes a crisp, engineered finish. Proportions read on the broad side, with open counters and a steady, low-contrast rhythm that keeps letters clear even as the forms lean forward. The serifs feel assertive and slightly bracketed, and many joins and diagonals resolve into clean angles, producing a tidy, purposeful texture across words and lines. Numerals follow the same confident, slabbed structure, matching the text color and overall pacing.
This style suits editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book typography where a pronounced italic is desired without sacrificing clarity. Its sturdy serifs and open forms also make it a good option for branding or packaging that wants a classic voice with a sharper, more structural finish.
The overall tone is editorial and bookish, combining a traditional italic voice with a firm, modern solidity. It feels earnest and authoritative without becoming overly formal, lending a composed, workmanlike sophistication to headings and emphasized passages.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic with the authority and stability of slab-like serifs, pairing forward motion with a controlled, readable texture. It aims to provide emphasis and personality while remaining practical for sustained text and headline use.
The italic construction maintains legibility through open shapes and consistent stroke endings, so the text forms read cleanly at display sizes while still holding together in paragraph samples. The strong serifs and squared terminals create a slightly technical edge that differentiates it from softer, calligraphic italics.
