A slanted slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a clean, even rhythm. Strokes stay relatively uniform with gentle modulation, while the italic construction introduces angled terminals and a forward-leaning cadence. Proportions are generous with open apertures and clear counters, and the serifs read as sturdy, rectangular accents rather than tapered wedges. Uppercase forms feel measured and formal; lowercase has a slightly more calligraphic flow, helping text set with a smooth, continuous texture.
Works well for long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and magazine layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also suits refined branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional, typographic character without heavy contrast.
The font conveys a polished, bookish tone—traditional and composed, with an editorial seriousness. Its italic slant and firm slab details add a subtle sense of authority, making it feel suited to cultured, literary contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended as a readable italic slab-serif that balances firmness (through square-ended serifs) with a fluent, editorial slant. It aims to provide a distinctive emphasis style that stays controlled and legible in paragraph settings.
In the text sample, the face maintains clarity at reading sizes, with punctuation and numerals matching the same restrained, typographic voice. The forward slant and strong serif endings create a distinctive line signature, giving emphasis without feeling overly decorative.
