This is an italic slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a gently modulated stroke. Curves are full and slightly teardrop-like, with ball terminals and softened joins that keep the heavy serifs from feeling blunt. The italic angle is consistent and readable, with lively, calligraphic shaping in letters like a, f, g, and y. Counters are open and proportions feel slightly condensed in the rounds, creating a rhythmic, text-forward texture that holds together well across mixed case and figures.
It suits editorial systems where an italic voice needs to carry emphasis with authority—magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes. The robust serifs and consistent slant also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and packaging where a classic, text-driven character is desired.
The overall tone reads traditional and editorial, with a hint of old-style warmth. Its confident slabs and expressive italic forms suggest established print culture—literary, journalistic, and slightly formal—without becoming overly stiff or ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive, readable italic companion with strong slab-serifs and a classic print sensibility. It balances sturdy structure with softened, calligraphic details to keep emphasis energetic while remaining suitable for continuous reading.
Numerals are sturdy and clear, with strong baseline presence and smooth curvature, matching the text rhythm. Uppercase forms feel authoritative and stable, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through curved terminals and italic movement.
