A serif italic with sturdy slab-like feet and subtly bracketed joins, combining a crisp, cut-inward serif treatment with gently rounded curves. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with a consistent rightward slant and a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Counters are open and proportions feel moderately compact, while terminals and serifs read as firm and squared-off, giving the letterforms a grounded, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and applications that benefit from a strong italic voice such as introductions, subheads, pull quotes, and emphasized passages. Its sturdy serifs and even stroke color also make it viable for identity accents where a classic, print-rooted tone is desired.
The overall tone feels editorial and scholarly—confident, traditional, and slightly formal without becoming ornate. Its italic voice suggests emphasis and narrative flow, evoking bookish or institutional settings where clarity and authority are valued.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable italic companion with robust slab-like support and a clear, traditional rhythm—an italic that reads confidently in print while adding emphasis through its slant and sturdy serif structure.
In text, the italic slant and slabby serif presence create a pronounced texture that can add emphasis and character, especially at display sizes or for short runs of copy. Numerals appear straightforward and sturdy, matching the no-nonsense, print-classic impression of the letters.
