A slanted slab serif with sturdy, unbracketed serifs and a smooth, medium-contrast stroke pattern. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic rhythm, with gently tapered joins and occasional ball terminals, giving the shapes a lively flow despite the robust serifs. Counters are open and proportions feel moderately compact, with rounded curves balanced by crisp slab endings and a consistent, forward-leaning texture across words.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without becoming delicate. It can also work for branding and posters that want a classic slab-serif foundation with added movement and personality.
The overall tone reads editorial and classic—serious enough for traditional settings, but with an energetic italic voice that feels expressive rather than purely formal. It suggests literary or academic credibility while still feeling approachable and contemporary in motion.
The design appears intended to combine the authority and firmness of slab serifs with the fluidity of an italic, producing a readable, expressive texture for longer text and prominent headings alike.
Uppercase forms appear assertive and stable, while the lowercase brings more character through curved entries, occasional teardrop-like details, and a slightly varied rhythm from letter to letter. Numerals follow the same italic, slabbed logic, maintaining consistency for mixed text and display lines.
