A right-leaning serif design with sturdy slab-like serifs and generally low stroke contrast. The serifs read as broad and supportive, with mostly crisp, flat terminals that keep the texture firm even in italic. Letterforms show moderate proportions and a steady rhythm, with open apertures and clear counters that help maintain clarity in running text. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and feet feel slightly angular, giving the overall construction a practical, grounded finish.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed with real body—magazine features, book interiors, introductions, sidebars, and pull quotes. It can also serve for short headlines or subheads when you want a traditional, authoritative feel without high-contrast delicacy.
The tone feels editorial and bookish: assertive enough for emphasis, but restrained and conventional in its detailing. Its italic slant adds momentum and a gentle formality, suggesting literature, commentary, and traditional publishing rather than playful display.
Likely intended as a robust italic companion for text-driven settings, pairing the forward motion of italics with the stability of slab serifs. The design aims to keep paragraphs readable while projecting a confident, traditional publishing character.
Uppercase shapes appear stable and classic, while the lowercase carries most of the motion, creating a lively texture in paragraphs. Numerals are sturdy and readable, matching the same slabbed, workmanlike voice and maintaining consistent weight and presence alongside text.
