A sturdy oblique slab serif with thick, bracketed serifs and low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with a steady rhythm and gently rounded joins, giving the texture a dark, even color in paragraph settings. Counters are open and uncomplicated, terminals are blunt rather than tapered, and the overall construction favors clear, workmanlike shapes over delicate detailing. Numerals and capitals read solid and anchored, while the lowercase maintains a comfortable, medium x-height and consistent slant.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic slab can carry emphasis with authority—book interiors, magazine features, long-form articles, and pull quotes. It can also serve for headings and subheads when a traditional, sturdy voice is desired, especially in print-forward layouts.
The font projects a classic, bookish tone with a pragmatic, print-oriented feel. Its confident slabs and italic posture add a subtle editorial energy without becoming decorative, suggesting reliability and tradition more than trendiness.
Likely designed as a dependable italic companion for a slab-serif text family, prioritizing consistent color, sturdy serifs, and straightforward forms that remain readable across continuous reading and editorial display sizes.
The italic is distinctly slanted but remains structurally calm, with serifs that hold the baseline and cap line firmly. Spacing appears generous enough to keep the heavy slabs from clogging, supporting readable word shapes in continuous text.
