This italic slab serif has crisp, unbracketed serifs and a very clean stroke finish, giving the letterforms a sharp, print-like edge. The overall construction is moderately traditional: open counters, gently tapered joins, and a steady rightward slant that produces a consistent forward rhythm. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase keeps a readable, bookish texture with a single-storey a and g, a slender f, and a pointed, calligraphic y. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with clear curves and restrained terminals that stay consistent with the slab-serif vocabulary.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without becoming ornate. It can also work for refined branding, invitations, and packaging where a classic, polished italic slab serif can carry a sophisticated tone.
The tone is composed and literary—more poised than playful—suggesting classic publishing and editorial design. Its italic motion reads as polished and expressive rather than loud, adding sophistication while maintaining a calm, controlled presence.
The design appears intended to provide an italic companion with a traditional, print-forward feel while retaining the clarity and firmness of slab serifs. It balances expressive italic movement with disciplined, crisp detailing for polished reading and headline use.
The spacing and rhythm emphasize continuous text flow, and the crisp slab serifs help maintain definition at larger display sizes. Diagonal strokes (V, W, X, v, w, x) are clean and precise, supporting a neat, carefully drawn impression.
