A slanted slab serif with square, largely unbracketed serifs and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms show an oblique axis and a lively, right-leaning rhythm, with crisp, flat-ended terminals that keep the texture firm and structured. Proportions feel traditionally bookish—moderate x-height, open counters, and clear differentiation between rounds and straights—while the numerals and capitals maintain a steady, even color across lines of text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed without becoming delicate. It can also work for pull quotes, sidebars, and refined packaging copy that benefits from a classic yet sturdy italic slab character.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, combining a classic italic cadence with a more assertive, workmanlike slab presence. It reads as earnest and slightly old-world, suggesting printed matter, essays, and institutional communication rather than flashy display.
Likely designed to provide an italic companion with the authority and stability of a slab serif, balancing traditional italic motion with squared, emphatic serifs for a strong, consistent page color in text.
Round letters stay smooth and well-controlled despite the slant, and the serif treatment gives lines a distinct horizontal emphasis. The texture is consistent in paragraph setting, with enough crispness at joins and terminals to hold up in longer passages while still feeling distinctly italic.
