An italic slab-serif with sturdy, block-like serifs and mostly square-ended terminals. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, with gently rounded curves and a consistent, slightly condensed rhythm across the alphabet. The italic slant is smooth and moderate, supported by firm verticals and open counters; details like the double-storey “a” and “g” and the simple, readable numerals keep the texture orderly in running text.
Works well for editorial typography where an italic needs presence—magazine features, book and essay italics, pull quotes, and titling with a classic slant. The sturdy serifs and even texture also suit brand applications like packaging or labels where a refined but assertive italic is useful.
The overall tone is editorial and traditionally minded, pairing a classic italic voice with a more robust, workmanlike slab foundation. It feels confident and a bit retro, with a crispness that reads as purposeful rather than delicate.
Likely designed to deliver an italic with strong structure and dependable readability, combining traditional italic proportions with slab-serif authority. The intent appears to be a versatile, characterful companion for text and display settings that benefits from a slightly more muscular footprint than a typical oldstyle italic.
In text, the slanted forms maintain clear word shapes and steady spacing, giving paragraphs a dark, even color. The slab terminals add a subtle mechanical sharpness that contrasts nicely with the rounded bowls and the flowing italic construction.
