This is an italic slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs that are often softly bracketed into the stems. Strokes remain fairly even throughout, with a slightly inked, print-like texture created by rounded joins, flared terminals, and occasional teardrop/ball details (notably in the lowercase). Proportions lean generous in width and spacing, producing clear shapes and open counters, while the italic slant is moderate and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Overall rhythm feels steady and text-forward, with a traditional serif skeleton and a robust serif footprint that helps maintain presence at smaller sizes.
It suits long-form reading in books and magazines, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or annotation. The broad, sturdy forms also work well for subheads, pull quotes, and editorial headlines that want a traditional, print-rooted flavor without ornamental distraction.
The tone is bookish and editorial—serious without feeling severe. Its sturdy slabs and gentle italic movement give it a confident, traditional voice that suggests printed matter, essays, and periodical typography rather than sleek minimalism.
The design appears intended as a dependable, text-oriented slab serif italic: strong enough to hold up in dense settings, yet shaped with enough softness and curvature to stay comfortable and legible in continuous reading.
Capitals are broad and stable, and the numerals keep a classic, readable look with ample interior space. The lowercase shows the most personality through rounded terminals and subtle swelling at joins, adding warmth while staying disciplined and consistent.
