This typeface is a serif with pronounced, squared slab terminals and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. The overall structure leans italic, showing a steady rightward slant and gently calligraphic shaping, with smooth curves and crisp joins. Serifs read as clean and largely unbracketed, giving the letterforms a sturdy, constructed finish despite the relatively delicate strokes. Proportions are balanced and book-oriented, with clear counters and a calm rhythm that stays even across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired with an italic-leaning personality. It can also serve effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and other emphasis text where the slant and slab serifs add structure and presence without feeling heavy.
The tone is literary and editorial, combining a traditional, bookish presence with a slightly expressive italic energy. It feels composed and scholarly rather than decorative, suggesting refinement and credibility while still maintaining a bit of motion in text.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif foundation adapted to an italic, text-driven rhythm—balancing crisp, square serifs with smooth, readable curves for comfortable continuous setting and a confident editorial tone.
Uppercase forms appear stately and open, while the lowercase keeps a readable, text-forward texture with distinct italic cues in shapes like a, f, and y. Numerals harmonize with the serif treatment and maintain clear differentiation, supporting continuous reading and mixed alphanumeric settings.
