A right-leaning serif italic with sturdy, slab-like feet and softly bracketed joins that keep the letterforms cohesive at text sizes. Strokes are largely even with modest modulation and a clear calligraphic slant, producing smooth curves and firm, flat-ish serif platforms rather than hairline delicacy. Counters are open and proportions are balanced, with a readable, workmanlike rhythm; the numerals match the texture of the text with consistent weight and similarly grounded serifs.
This style performs well for extended reading in books, essays, and magazines where italic is used for emphasis, titles, or foreign phrases. It also suits pull quotes, intros, and captions that need a distinctive italic voice while maintaining a consistent, text-oriented color on the page.
The tone reads traditional and editorial—more bookish than flashy—combining a dependable, institutional seriousness with the energetic forward motion of an italic. It feels suited to literary settings where emphasis should remain refined and authoritative rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, highly legible italic companion with slabby support, prioritizing clarity and a stable text texture over high-contrast elegance. Its measured slant and firm serifs suggest an emphasis on dependable performance in editorial and publishing contexts.
The italic construction is evident in the angled stems and gently cursive shaping in several lowercase forms, while capitals stay relatively formal and controlled. Overall texture is steady and dark enough for emphasis without becoming blunt, helping italic passages hold presence in a layout.
