An italic slab-serif with sturdy, squared serifs and a smooth forward slant. Strokes are fairly even in weight with low contrast, while the serifs and terminals feel firm and emphatic, giving the letters a grounded footprint. The drawing combines crisp edges with slight bracketing and subtly wedge-like joins, producing a disciplined, print-oriented rhythm. Counters are open and the forms are conventional and legible, with a measured, steady texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where italic is used for emphasis, quotations, or foreign terms. Its sturdy slabs and even color also make it a reliable choice for captions, pull quotes, and longer italic passages that need to stay readable at moderate sizes.
The overall tone reads traditional and editorial—serious, assured, and bookish without feeling ornate. The italic adds motion and emphasis, while the slab structure keeps the voice authoritative and practical rather than delicate or romantic.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable italic companion with a strong, workmanlike slab-serif backbone—optimized for readable emphasis and an editorial voice rather than decorative display.
Capitals maintain a composed, formal presence, and the numerals appear sturdy and straightforward for text settings. The italic angle is consistent across the set, helping maintain a coherent line when used for extended passages or emphasis.
