A right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, mostly rectangular serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes are comparatively even in thickness, with modest modulation and a smooth, controlled rhythm that reads clearly in both caps and lowercase. The italics are built with true italic forms (notably single-storey a and g), giving the face a more handwritten, editorial feel while keeping forms compact and well-ordered. Numerals and capitals share the same steady, formal construction, with generous curves and open counters that keep texture from clogging in continuous text.
This font is well-suited to editorial and long-form reading, including book interiors, magazine features, and scholarly or literary writing. Its italicized construction also works nicely for pull quotes, standfirsts, and emphasis within text where a clear, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, balancing traditional serif authority with an italic liveliness. It suggests careful, considered writing—suited to contexts that want to feel established and credible without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a readable italic slab serif for text-driven settings, combining robust serif structure with true italic character shapes. It aims to deliver a confident, classic page texture with enough warmth and motion to keep paragraphs engaging.
Letterforms show consistent serif treatment across the set, with square-ended terminals that keep edges crisp. The italic angle is noticeable but not extreme, and the spacing produces an even typographic color in the sample paragraph.
