An italic slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a gently modulated stroke that stays mostly even in weight. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a flowing, slightly calligraphic construction, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the texture smooth. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and clear counters; curves are generous, and spacing reads comfortable for continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with simple, readable shapes and steady weight.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts, especially for passages that need emphasis such as quotations, intros, or pull text. Its steady weight and open forms also make it a dependable choice for captions and supporting copy where an italic serif is required.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, combining a traditional serif voice with the forward motion of italics. It feels appropriate for editorial settings where a composed, literary character is desired without becoming overly ornate or display-driven.
Likely designed as a practical italic companion for slab-serif text typography, aiming to balance firmness from the serifs with a smooth, continuous reading rhythm. The focus appears to be on clarity and consistency for editorial use rather than distinctive novelty.
The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, and the slab serifs add structure to the otherwise fluid forms. Uppercase shapes retain a dignified, slightly engraved feel, while the lowercase leans more humanist in rhythm, producing an even, readable text color.
