This typeface is an italic slab serif with a steady, low-contrast stroke and a consistent forward slant. Serifs read as sturdy slabs that are often subtly bracketed, giving the joins a softened, inked-in feel rather than hard geometry. Proportions show a tall x-height with compact extenders, and the overall rhythm is lively due to angled stress and small calligraphic nuances. Terminals and joins are clean and confident, while counters remain open enough to keep the texture readable in text.
It works well for editorial settings where an italic voice is needed without losing weight and stability—such as magazine decks, pull quotes, and book typography. The sturdy slabs also make it suitable for branding and packaging that want a classic, literate tone with a bit of dynamism.
The tone is editorial and bookish, blending traditional italic warmth with the authority of slab serifs. It feels energetic and articulate rather than delicate, suggesting a pragmatic classicism suited to confident narration and commentary.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic companion with strong, dependable footing, combining slab-serif solidity with a fluent, text-oriented slant. It aims to remain readable at paragraph sizes while offering enough personality for display and emphasis.
Numbers are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with italic motion and strong baseline presence. The letterforms maintain an even color across lines, and the italic angle is consistent enough to support continuous reading while still providing a distinctive, stylized voice.
