A slanted serif with crisp, squared terminals and blocky slab-like serifs that join strokes cleanly. Strokes are fairly even in weight, with modest modulation and a steady, even rhythm across text. The letterforms are relatively open with generous spacing and a slightly expanded feel, while the italic construction is more oblique than cursive—shapes remain structured and typographic rather than handwritten. Lowercase forms show straightforward proportions and clear counters; numerals are similarly even and text-oriented.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, essays, and cultured branding where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or tone. It can also serve comfortably for pull quotes, subheads, and longer captions where a steady, readable texture is preferred over dramatic contrast.
The overall tone is literary and composed, combining a traditional book-italic voice with a slightly sturdier, more architectural edge from its squared serifs. It feels formal without being ornate, lending a quiet authority suitable for thoughtful, editorial settings.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable italic companion with a more robust, squared-serif character—balancing tradition with a slightly modern, structured finish. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and legibility in continuous reading while maintaining a distinctive slab-influenced personality.
In the sample text, the slant and consistent stroke weight produce a smooth horizontal flow, while the firm serifs add punctuation-like crispness at word edges. The design reads cleanly at paragraph scale and keeps a restrained, classic texture rather than high-contrast sparkle.
