This is an italic slab serif with sturdy, block-like serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. The letters show a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, square-ended terminals, with gently bracketed joins where serifs meet stems. Curves are full and controlled, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is steady and text-friendly. Figures follow the same italic logic, with solid, grounded shapes that match the weight and serif treatment of the alphabet.
It works well for editorial typography where an italic needs to carry real emphasis—feature intros, pull quotes, subheads, and lead-ins. The sturdy slab serifs and even texture also make it suitable for book and magazine layouts, especially where a strong, traditional italic voice is desired.
The tone is confident and literary, combining a classic bookish feel with the firmer voice of a slab serif. Its italic slant adds momentum and emphasis without becoming flamboyant, making it feel persuasive, editorial, and slightly old-world in character.
The design appears intended as a workhorse italic slab serif that delivers emphasis with clarity and authority. It aims to keep a consistent, even typographic color while leveraging robust serifs and a decisive slant to stand out in editorial and literary contexts.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy and authoritative, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable texture with compact joins and robust serifs. The design’s squared finishing and even color help it hold up in dense settings while still looking intentional in display sizes.
