A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a crisp, cut-from-metal feeling. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation and clean joins, while terminals and serifs read as flat, blocky, and decisively shaped. Counters are open and the fit is moderately tight, giving lines a steady rhythm; uppercase forms feel formal and structured, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable skeleton with a slightly calligraphic lean.
Works well for extended reading in books and magazines where an italic voice is needed, as well as for pull quotes, subheads, and captions that benefit from a firm, structured serif presence. Its square serifs and steady rhythm also make it suitable for editorial branding and formal print layouts.
The overall tone is serious and composed, with an editorial and literary flavor. The italic slant adds motion and emphasis without becoming decorative, making it feel suited to thoughtful, text-driven communication rather than playful display.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion with clear slab-serif structure—aiming to provide emphasis and hierarchy while preserving text-like readability and a disciplined, typographic color.
The numerals echo the same slab construction and slanted posture, keeping figures and letters visually consistent. The shapes balance firmness (in the serifs and terminals) with a smooth reading flow, especially in longer sample lines.
