A slanted slab-serif with clean, unbracketed rectangular serifs and largely even stroke color. The letterforms show a restrained, text-oriented construction: moderate proportions, open counters, and a steady baseline rhythm with minimal ornamentation. Terminals are crisp and squared, with gentle taper only where strokes meet curves, keeping the texture consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The italics are built rather than cursive, maintaining clear structures and predictable joins for continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as book interiors, essays, and magazine typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or pull quotes. It can also serve in refined headings and subheads when a classic slab-serif voice is desired without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone feels literary and composed, with an editorial seriousness that reads as traditional but not ornate. Its angled stance adds momentum and a slightly persuasive voice, balancing formality with approachable clarity.
Likely designed to provide a dependable italic companion with a solid slab-serif backbone, prioritizing clarity, even texture, and a traditional editorial feel. The unbracketed serifs and controlled slant suggest an intention to keep emphasis readable and consistent in continuous text settings.
Uppercase forms project a measured, bookish presence with broad, stable serifs, while the lowercase maintains legibility through straightforward shapes and clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same disciplined slab-serif logic, supporting consistent typographic color alongside text.
