A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, block-like serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the overall texture. Strokes are fairly even with modest modulation, and the italic construction shows clear calligraphic influence in the curved letters and diagonals. Proportions are readable and text-oriented, with open bowls and counters, a compact but not cramped lowercase, and a rhythm that stays consistent across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same italic slant and sturdy finishing, keeping a cohesive, workmanlike color in running text.
Well-suited for editorial design, book interiors, and magazine typography where an italic voice is used for emphasis, pull quotes, or introductory passages. It can also work in branding and packaging that wants a classic, trustworthy tone with a strong serif presence.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone with a slightly energetic forward lean. Its slab serifs add solidity and authority, while the italic structure lends a cultured, literary feel suitable for emphasis and narrative voice.
Likely designed to provide a robust italic companion with slab-serif authority—prioritizing clarity and consistency in text while retaining a traditional, slightly calligraphic italic flavor.
Uppercase forms remain restrained and conventional, while the lowercase shows more of the italic personality, especially in letters like a, e, f, and y. The overall spacing and shapes favor continuous reading, producing a dense, confident text color without looking heavy.
