A slanted slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a smooth, low-contrast stroke that keeps a steady color across lines. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with open counters and a calm, even rhythm, while terminals and serifs read crisp rather than tapered. Italic construction feels more like an oblique with assertive, structured shapes—especially in the capitals—giving the face a solid, anchored presence despite the forward lean.
Works well for magazine and book settings where an italic voice is needed with more heft and structure than a typical oldstyle italic. It also suits headlines and pull quotes that benefit from a forward-leaning emphasis while staying highly legible in longer phrases.
The overall tone is editorial and bookish, combining a practical, workmanlike solidity with a slightly vintage, print-forward character. Its slant adds momentum and emphasis without becoming flashy, producing a confident voice suited to narrative or commentary.
Likely designed to deliver a robust italic companion with slab-serif authority—maintaining readability and even texture while adding emphasis and motion. The wide proportions and crisp slabs suggest an intention to feel dependable and print-oriented, suitable for editorial systems.
Capitals show a strong, sign-like stance with prominent slabs, while the lowercase maintains clear, readable forms and consistent spacing. Numerals follow the same sturdy logic, with simple silhouettes and stable baselines that match text settings.
