A slanted slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even, with gently tapered joins and rounded, curling terminals that soften the otherwise square serif structure. Proportions feel moderately open, with clear counters and slightly modulated curves; the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and a readable, text-forward build. Numerals and capitals maintain the same steady presence, with firm horizontals and controlled, slightly classical shapes.
This style suits editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads without losing typographic authority. It can also work in literary or heritage-leaning branding and packaging where a refined, print-traditional feel is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, balancing a formal slab-serif backbone with an italic liveliness that reads as literary rather than flashy. It evokes traditional print typography—measured, articulate, and suitable for long-form reading while still feeling expressive in headings.
The design appears intended to provide an italic companion with strong slab-serif structure and high readability, combining sturdy, square serifs with softer, calligraphic terminals for a distinctive but restrained texture in text.
The combination of sharp slab serifs and rounded, sometimes ball-like terminals creates a distinctive blend of sturdy and graceful. Letterforms appear consistently slanted with smooth curvature, giving lines of text a continuous forward motion without becoming cursive.
