An italic slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a gently calligraphic flow. Strokes stay relatively even, with subtle modulation and rounded joins that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a tall lowercase presence, producing strong readability and an even rhythm in text. Serifs are prominent but controlled, giving the forms a grounded, slightly vintage feel without becoming heavy or clunky.
Well suited for editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where an italic with real presence is desired. It works especially well for headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and emphatic passages, and can also hold up in longer reading settings thanks to its open shapes and steady rhythm.
The overall tone is editorial and bookish, combining a traditional print sensibility with a lively italic motion. It reads as confident and slightly nostalgic, suitable for designs that want warmth and authority rather than sleek modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a legible, text-friendly italic that still makes a distinctive typographic statement through bold slab serifs and classic proportions. It aims to balance traditional publishing cues with a robust, contemporary clarity.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same firm slab structure and italic slant, helping headings and short lines feel cohesive with body text. The spacing and internal openness give the face a calm page color even at larger sizes where the serifs become a key stylistic signal.
