A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the otherwise blocky terminals. Strokes are largely even, with a subtle modulation that keeps counters open and forms calm at text sizes. Proportions run on the wide side with generous sidebearings, giving the alphabet an airy, unhurried rhythm. The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, with single-storey "a" and "g" and a clear, readable numeral set.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazines, and book typography where an italic voice needs to remain legible and substantial. It can also serve effectively in pull quotes, subheads, and packaging copy where a classic, slightly old-style emphasis is desired without becoming delicate.
The overall tone feels editorial and bookish, with a faint vintage flavor reminiscent of printed matter and traditional italic typography. Its assertive slabs add authority, while the moderate slant and open spacing keep the voice approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable italic with slab-serif backbone—combining firm, square-ended details with comfortable readability and a traditional printed texture for sustained text use.
Capitals are robust and stable, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved entry/exit strokes and slightly calligraphic shaping. The figures match the text color well and look designed to sit comfortably in running copy.
