This is an italic slab serif with sturdy, squared serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke rhythm. Letterforms lean forward with a clear calligraphic slant, while the serifs read as firm, mostly rectangular feet that help stabilize the diagonals and curves. Proportions feel fairly traditional: capitals are broad and steady, lowercase has a moderate x-height, and bowls and counters remain open enough for comfortable reading. Curves are smooth rather than sharp, and joins show gentle modulation without dramatic thick–thin swings.
It works well for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing structure—magazine features, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes. The sturdy serifs and open counters also make it suitable for headlines and subheads that need a classic yet assertive character.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, blending a classic bookish feel with a slightly punchy, insistent voice. Its italic energy reads purposeful rather than decorative, giving text a sense of motion while the slab serifs keep it grounded and authoritative.
The design intention appears to be an italic companion with strong slab-serif anchoring: a readable text style that adds forward motion and emphasis while retaining a solid, traditional typographic foundation.
The numeral set appears upright in construction but harmonizes with the italic texture through similar stroke endings and slab terminals. Uppercase and lowercase maintain a cohesive serif treatment, producing an even typographic color in running text with clear emphasis when used for headings or highlighted phrases.
