A slanted slab-serif with bracketed, blocky serifs and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Curves are round and open, terminals are clean, and joins stay controlled, giving the forms a stable, workmanlike texture even in italic. Proportions feel traditional and moderately condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable skeleton with a clear slant and consistent spacing.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where an italic slab-serif can provide clear emphasis without breaking the page’s texture. It also fits reports and formal documents that need a traditional, reliable tone with a distinctive but controlled serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a composed, slightly academic feel. Its italic voice reads purposeful rather than decorative, suggesting emphasis and narrative flow more than flourish.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for a slab-serif text family, balancing classic proportions and steady rhythm with enough serif structure to remain crisp in print-like settings.
The numerals and capitals maintain a steady, conservative construction that matches the text face, and the italics retain crisp slab terminals instead of switching to cursive forms. The sample paragraph shows an even typographic color with restrained personality, suited to continuous reading and structured layouts.
