A slanted slab-serif with softly bracketed, blocky serifs and rounded joins that keep the texture dark and even. Strokes stay relatively uniform, with only subtle modulation, and terminals often finish with gentle curves rather than hard cuts. The forms are moderately compact with a steady rhythm, while the serifs provide clear horizontal anchoring and a print-like density. Numerals and lowercase show a slightly oldstyle, text-oriented stance, contributing to a comfortable, continuous color in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a dark, steady text color and clear word shapes matter—magazine articles, books, essays, and branded storytelling. It can also work in packaging and labels where a classic, trustworthy tone is desired, especially when set in short to medium passages.
The tone feels editorial and bookish, pairing a traditional serif foundation with a lively italic energy. Its sturdy serifs and rounded shaping read as dependable and crafted, suggesting print heritage rather than a sharp contemporary voice. Overall it conveys warmth, authority, and a quietly expressive personality suited to long-form reading.
Likely designed as a practical, text-ready italic slab serif that balances sturdiness with readability. The intent appears to be a dependable workhorse voice with enough warmth and motion to add emphasis without becoming decorative.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the serif treatment remains stable from glyph to glyph, creating a cohesive page texture. Several letters show gently cupped or curved terminals that soften the slab structure and avoid a rigid, mechanical feel.
