A slanted slab-serif with crisp, fairly straight stems and sturdy, rectangular serifs that read as lightly bracketed rather than fully abrupt. The italic construction is evident in the angled axis and gently calligraphic modulation, especially in the lowercase where joins and curves feel written rather than purely geometric. Proportions are on the wider side with generous spacing and open apertures, giving the alphabet an airy, legible rhythm. Uppercase forms are measured and classical, while the lowercase shows a slightly more expressive cursive structure; figures appear lining with clear, straightforward shapes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and book or magazine layouts where an italic with presence is needed for emphasis. It also works nicely for pull quotes, intros, and captions, providing a distinct voice without breaking text color or legibility.
The overall tone feels bookish and cultivated, balancing academic tradition with a quiet, contemporary polish. Its italic voice suggests emphasis and commentary—more refined than sporty—suited to nuanced, editorial expression rather than loud display.
The design appears intended as a readable, classical italic slab-serif that combines sturdy serifs with a lighter, more literary texture. It aims to deliver clear emphasis in running text while maintaining a composed, traditional typographic feel.
Stroke endings and serifs stay consistent across the set, producing a steady texture in paragraphs. The italic angle is moderate, and the character shapes prioritize clarity over flamboyance, with comfortable internal space in letters like a, e, s, and g that helps maintain readability at text sizes.
