A slanted slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a clean, even stroke rhythm. The letterforms feel moderately narrow with generous sidebearings, giving lines a calm, airy texture. Curves are smooth and open, while many strokes end in crisp slabs or subtly tapered, wedge-like terminals, creating a disciplined but slightly calligraphic finish. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with clear differentiation between similar forms, and the figures follow the same italicized cadence for a consistent typographic color.
This face is well suited to editorial contexts such as book typography, long-form articles, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or titling. It can also support refined branding applications that want a classic, scholarly tone without looking ornate.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, evoking editorial and academic typography rather than display flash. Its slant and crisp slabs add a sense of forward motion and confidence, while the restrained detailing keeps the voice composed and professional.
The design appears intended to blend the authority of slab serifs with the fluidity of an italic, producing a readable, text-friendly texture that still carries personality. It aims for consistent rhythm and clear word shapes, prioritizing composed, editorial communication over decorative effect.
The italic structure reads as a true italic rather than a simple oblique, with diagonally biased construction in letters like v, w, and y and a flowing, continuous rhythm in text. The slab serifs remain firm and rectangular, reinforcing a steady baseline and strong word shapes even at smaller sizes.
