A slanted slab serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the otherwise blocky construction. Strokes stay fairly even, with mild modulation and a consistent, slightly calligraphic rhythm that reads clearly in both caps and lowercase. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented: round letters are compact, counters are open, and the lowercase maintains a balanced, moderate x-height. Numerals share the same italic lean and sturdy serif treatment, giving the set a cohesive, print-like texture.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed with strong structure—magazine features, book interiors, and newspaper-style layouts. It can also work for headings, pull quotes, and short display lines when a classic, authoritative tone is desired without high-contrast delicacy.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, combining a pragmatic, newspaper-like solidity with a subtle old-style warmth from the bracketing and slanted posture. It feels confident and familiar rather than sleek, suggesting heritage editorial typography and academic or literary settings.
Likely designed to provide a dependable italic companion with slab-serif sturdiness, delivering clear text color and a traditional print sensibility. The combination of squared serifs, moderate proportions, and restrained modulation suggests an emphasis on readability and an editorial, heritage feel.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum in running text, while the slab serifs keep lines anchored and structured. Terminals and serifs are largely flat and squared, reinforcing a robust, no-nonsense color on the page without becoming harsh.
