An italic slab-serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and crisp, angular joins. Strokes stay fairly even, with only modest modulation, and the italic construction reads as a true drawn italic rather than a simple slant. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a measured rhythm that keeps words readable while still showing distinct letterforms. Serifs are prominent and consistent, giving the texture a firm baseline and a slightly engraved, print-oriented feel.
Well suited for editorial typography where italics are used frequently—book and magazine text, pull quotes, captions, and scholarly or legal-style layouts. It can also serve as a distinctive supporting italic in branding systems that want a classic, print-rooted tone with strong, dependable structure.
The overall tone feels bookish and editorial—confident, traditional, and slightly formal. Its italic energy adds motion and emphasis, while the slab structure keeps the voice grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with strong presence and clarity, pairing a traditional slab-serif backbone with a clean, contemporary crispness. Its consistent serifs and restrained contrast suggest a focus on readable, durable composition rather than decorative display alone.
Uppercase forms are upright and stately, while lowercase and figures carry the italic angle, creating a lively contrast in mixed settings. Numerals appear clear and sturdy, matching the serif logic and maintaining a steady, text-friendly color across lines.
