This is an italic slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and generally low stroke contrast. The forms lean consistently to the right with a steady, even rhythm, and the serifs read as solid platforms rather than delicate finishing strokes. Curves are broad and controlled, counters stay fairly open, and joins often show a slightly chiseled, wedge-like transition that gives the shapes a crisp, printed quality. Numerals and capitals feel robust and upright in structure despite the slant, with a clear, workmanlike silhouette.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without becoming delicate. The sturdy slab serifs also work well for subheads and short headlines that want a traditional, authoritative tone while retaining the motion of italic letterforms.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, scholarly presence. It suggests traditional printing and dependable seriousness rather than fashion-forward flair, balancing warmth with a firm, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to provide an italic companion with the solidity and clarity of slab-serifs, delivering emphasis and motion while preserving a grounded, print-oriented texture. It prioritizes sturdy shapes, consistent slant, and dependable readability over high-contrast elegance.
In text, the italic slant is prominent and energetic while the slab serifs keep the line grounded, helping maintain stability at larger paragraph sizes. The heavy, squared serifs and restrained contrast produce a strong texture that can look dense if tightly set, but reads convincingly in short-to-medium passages where a purposeful, bookish color is desired.
