A compact italic serif with sturdy, slab-like serifs that read as gently bracketed and slightly softened at the ends. Strokes are smooth and even in color, with a consistent rhythm and a modest, controlled slant. The letterforms are narrow and upright in construction, with rounded counters and a calm baseline flow that keeps text cohesive. Numerals and capitals follow the same compact, slightly formal structure, maintaining uniform spacing and a steady typographic texture.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as book interiors, magazine features, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or narrative passages. Its compact build supports tight columns and sidebars, while the stable serif structure helps maintain clarity in continuous text.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, evoking book typography and classic editorial settings. Its italic movement adds elegance and a sense of narrative pace without becoming flamboyant. The slabby serifs lend a grounded, dependable character, balancing refinement with a practical, print-minded attitude.
Likely intended as a text-oriented italic that combines classical serif conventions with sturdier, slab-like terminals for a confident, print-friendly presence. The design prioritizes a consistent reading rhythm and compact economy while retaining a cultured, editorial tone.
The design’s narrow proportions and steady spacing create a dense, economical line that suits tighter measures. Curves and joins appear deliberately smoothed, giving the face a slightly softened, approachable finish despite its formal italic posture.
