A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes appear low-contrast with firm, squared-off terminals and subtly bracketed joins that keep counters open and forms stable. The italic construction reads as a true italic rather than a simple oblique, with flowing entry/exit strokes and a forward, energetic texture. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
This font works well for editorial design, especially in magazines and book typography where an italic with presence is useful for emphasis. It can serve strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and short passages, and it also suits branding applications that need a classic but assertive serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining a traditional italic voice with the authority of slab serifs. It feels dependable and literate—suited to settings that want warmth and credibility without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic style that remains robust and highly legible, pairing traditional letterforms with confident slab serifs for added weight and authority in both display and text contexts.
The set shows consistent, emphatic serifs that help anchor lines, while the italic angle adds momentum and helps words knit together in text. Numerals share the same sturdy, print-like construction and keep a clean, readable presence alongside letters.
