A slanted slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a steady, even stroke feel. Serifs read as flat, squared blocks that attach cleanly to stems, giving the letterforms a sturdy base while the italic construction introduces forward motion. Curves are smooth and open, with slightly tapered joins and a consistent rhythm across the alphabet; the overall texture is clear and moderately airy rather than dense. Figures follow the same slanted, serifed logic, keeping the set cohesive in running text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and other longform settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or continuous reading. It can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and subheads where crisp slabs and a forward slant help text stand out without becoming ornamental.
The tone is editorial and literary—poised and traditional, but with enough italic energy to feel lively and expressive. It suggests bookish sophistication and an academic voice rather than a purely decorative or playful personality.
The design appears intended to blend the authority and sturdiness of slab serifs with the dynamism of an italic, producing a readable, publication-oriented face that feels classic yet energetic.
In the text sample, the italic angle and pronounced slab serifs create distinctive word shapes and a confident horizontal cadence. Uppercase forms feel formal and structured, while the lowercase maintains readability through open counters and straightforward construction.
