A compact italic serif with square, slab-like terminals and a clean, steady stroke rhythm. Serifs read as blunt and unbracketed, giving the letterforms a crisp, engineered finish even as the italic construction introduces a gentle, calligraphic flow. Curves are open and controlled, with tidy joins and restrained shaping; capitals are relatively formal and upright in structure, while lowercase forms show a clear slant and a consistent, even texture across words. Numerals follow the same disciplined, serifed treatment, maintaining a cohesive color in text.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial italics, including emphasis, quotations, captions, and scholarly apparatus. It can also serve effectively in magazine typography and refined branding lines where a classic italic texture is desired without excessive flourish.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial—polished, traditional, and quietly authoritative. Its italic voice suggests emphasis with sophistication rather than drama, evoking bookish, academic, and period-leaning contexts.
Designed to provide a disciplined, text-ready italic that balances traditional serif conventions with crisp, square terminals. The intent appears focused on maintaining an even reading texture and a confident editorial presence while delivering clear emphasis within running text.
The compact proportions and firm terminals create a taut line economy that stays legible in continuous reading, while the slab serifs add visual anchoring on horizontal strokes. The italic angle is noticeable but not exaggerated, supporting smooth word shapes and a consistent cadence in longer passages.
