A slanted slab-serif with crisp, mostly square-ended serifs and a steady, even stroke color. The letterforms show restrained modulation and an oblique axis, with wide, open capitals and comparatively compact lowercase proportions. Curves are smooth and rounded while terminals stay firm and straight, creating a clear serif rhythm across text. Numerals and capitals keep a composed, traditional structure, and the overall spacing reads moderately open, supporting continuous reading.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and titling within long-form reading. It also fits literary and academic materials that benefit from a traditional serif texture, and can work for refined branding or packaging where a composed, classic italic is desired.
The font conveys a bookish, formal tone with a classical editorial feel. Its italic slant adds a sense of emphasis and motion, while the squared slab details keep the voice grounded and authoritative. Overall it suggests careful, traditional typography rather than expressive display styling.
The design appears intended as a readable slab-serif italic that balances traditional serif conventions with firm, squared serifs for a steady typographic color. Its proportions and controlled detailing suggest a focus on comfortable text setting and clear emphasis rather than ornamental flourish.
In text, the italic construction remains highly legible, with consistent serif cues helping guide the eye along the line. The italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ appear single-storey, reinforcing a straightforward, oldstyle-leaning texture, while capitals maintain a dignified, slightly expansive presence.
