An italicized slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are narrow-leaning with a steady rightward slant, giving a quick, linear rhythm. Terminals are squared and firm, counters stay fairly open, and curves are kept controlled rather than calligraphic. Numerals and capitals maintain the same brisk, engineered feel, with sturdy horizontals and minimal modulation.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed but still must read crisply. It can also serve effectively in headlines, captions, and brand systems that want a traditional slab-serif authority with added forward motion.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, with a pragmatic, print-forward seriousness. Its slanted stance adds urgency and motion while the slab serifs keep it grounded and authoritative, evoking classic publishing and institutional typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic companion with the sturdiness and clarity of a slab serif, prioritizing consistent structure and a disciplined texture over expressive calligraphy. It aims for a classic, dependable voice that remains energetic through its slant.
The italic construction reads more as an oblique, engineered slant than a flowing script italic, and the slab serifs remain consistent across upper- and lowercase. The texture in paragraphs is even and slightly compressed, producing a dark, orderly color without dramatic contrast shifts.
