A right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and a broad footprint. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with subtle modulation and crisp, squared terminals that keep the silhouette firm. Letterforms show a slightly calligraphic construction—curves and joins feel drawn rather than purely geometric—while the italics maintain clear counters and open apertures. Numerals are robust and readable, matching the text color and steady baseline presence of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a distinctive italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads. Its sturdy slabs and even stroke weight also support readable short-to-medium passages in books or magazines, and it can add authority to headings in print or brand communications that lean classic.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, combining old-style warmth with a confident, matter-of-fact solidity. Its italic energy adds momentum and emphasis without becoming flashy, suggesting a voice that is informed, composed, and slightly rhetorical.
The font appears designed to deliver an energetic, readable italic with the durability and presence of slab serifs. It aims to balance traditional text cues with a broader, more assertive stance that holds up in editorial layouts.
The design’s wide set and pronounced serifs create strong word shapes and a stable text color, especially in mixed-case settings. The italic slant is consistent and helps maintain flow in longer lines while keeping punctuation and figures visually integrated.
