A compact, italic slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. The overall drawing is narrow and upright-leaning, with crisp corners, short slab terminals, and a steady rhythm that reads evenly across lines. Counters are relatively open for the width, and the italic construction is evident in the angled stems and sheared shapes rather than calligraphic swelling.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography where an italic slab can add emphasis with authority, especially in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short editorial passages. The compact proportions make it useful when space is tight, while the strong terminals help it hold up in display sizes and prominent callouts.
The tone feels editorial and bookish, with a slightly retro flavor that suggests classic print typography. Its brisk italic angle and firm slab terminals give it a confident, declarative voice—serious rather than playful—suited to structured, information-forward settings.
Likely designed as an italic companion with a sturdy slab structure, aiming to deliver emphasis and hierarchy without introducing high-contrast delicacy. The intent appears to balance economy of width with a firm, print-forward texture for editorial systems.
Capitals stay disciplined and streamlined, while the lowercase maintains a readable, workmanlike texture with clear differentiation between forms. Numerals match the italic stance and compact proportions, keeping the same sturdy, squared serif logic for a cohesive set.
