An italic serif with robust, squared slab serifs and a clear, moderately contrasted stroke structure. Curves are smooth and rounded, but terminals resolve with flat, blocky endings that give the letterforms a firm presence. Proportions feel traditional and readable, with open counters and a steady rhythm; the italic angle is noticeable without becoming overly cursive.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where italic is used for emphasis, citations, or side notes. It can also work effectively in pull quotes, subheads, and branding that wants a classic tone with a sturdier, more anchored serif character. The numerals and capitals feel appropriate for formal documents, invitations, and packaging with a traditional lean.
This typeface conveys a classic, editorial tone with a slightly formal, bookish voice. The slanted posture adds momentum and a subtle calligraphic warmth, while the sturdy slab serifs keep the overall impression confident and grounded rather than delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering an italic voice that reads comfortably in continuous text while still providing strong typographic color. Its slab-serif reinforcement suggests an intention to preserve clarity and presence in italics, making emphasis feel structured and purposeful rather than ornamental.
The sample text shows a consistent italic rhythm with firm slab serifs that maintain stroke endings cleanly across both straight stems and curved forms. Capitals retain a traditional serif structure, while lowercase forms keep legibility through open apertures and stable spacing.
