A serif italic with sturdy, square-ended slab serifs and a clean, even stroke texture. The forms are compact and upright in proportion while leaning consistently to the right, producing a brisk reading rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, counters stay fairly open, and the curves are drawn with a slightly calligraphic, humanist inflection rather than pure geometric symmetry. Capitals appear relatively restrained in width, while lowercase shows gentle irregularity and lively joins that keep text feeling organic.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic with personality is useful for emphasis, quotations, or sustained reading. It can also serve branding that wants a classic, literary tone—publishing imprints, cafés, artisan products, or cultural institutions—especially in headlines and short passages. The compact proportions make it practical where horizontal space is limited, while the slab details help it hold up in print-oriented layouts.
This typeface feels bookish and quietly eccentric, with a human, slightly quirky cadence that reads as literary rather than corporate. Its italic slant and crisp slab details give it a composed, old-world tone—polite and traditional, yet not overly formal. Overall it suggests thoughtful storytelling, editorial voice, and a touch of handmade charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable italic voice for continuous reading while preserving a distinctive slab-serif personality. It aims for consistent texture and clarity at text sizes, using firm, square serifs and controlled curves to keep lines orderly while still feeling human and expressive. The overall construction suggests an emphasis on editorial usability with a memorable, slightly idiosyncratic character.
The sample text shows a steady rightward slant with relatively flat, square serifs that give a firm baseline and a slightly stamped impression. Numerals are similarly slanted and simple, matching the text rhythm rather than behaving as strictly upright figures. The overall color on the page is even, with enough shaping in curves and joins to keep the texture lively without becoming decorative.
