A slanted serif with sturdy, square-ended slab serifs and a steady, medium-contrast stroke. The forms show a slightly calligraphic modulation with angled joins and wedge-like entry/exit cuts, while remaining crisp and print-oriented rather than brushy. Proportions are relatively compact with a controlled x-height, and the overall rhythm is even, with clear counters and a consistent rightward lean. Numerals follow the same italic construction, mixing strong verticals with firm horizontals and slabbed terminals for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, books, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed without losing structure. It can also serve for pull quotes, bylines, and compact headlines that benefit from a classic, slab-serif character and a strong, readable texture.
The tone reads literary and editorial—confident, traditional, and a bit academic. Its italic stance and slabby footing suggest seriousness and authority, with enough sharpness to feel purposeful and contemporary in layout.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic that feels traditional and text-capable, pairing a scholarly tone with the firmness of slab serifs. It aims for reliable readability and a composed page rhythm while still offering a distinctive, angled presence for emphasis and hierarchy.
Serifs tend to be substantial and squared, helping maintain clarity at smaller sizes while giving headings a distinctive texture. The italic angle is pronounced but stable, and the letterforms keep a disciplined geometry that supports clean line building in paragraphs.
