This is an italic slab-serif with a steady, low-contrast stroke and firm, squared serif presence. The letterforms lean consistently with a calligraphic rhythm, showing tapered entries and exits while keeping overall stroke weight even. Serifs read as sturdy and mostly flat-ended, often with slight bracketing, and the joins stay crisp, giving the design a controlled, engraved feel rather than a soft, brushy one. Proportions are moderately compact with a typical x-height and clear differentiation between rounds and straights; numerals share the same italic posture and sturdy finishing.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or pull quotes. It can also serve effectively in literary titles and subheads, delivering a traditional italic color with extra stability from the slab serif structure.
The tone feels bookish and editorial, combining traditional italic elegance with a more assertive, practical slab-serif footing. It reads as confident and composed, with enough sharpness to feel precise and slightly formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, highly legible italic companion with classic typographic mannerisms, pairing a disciplined, low-contrast construction with sturdier slab-like finishing. It aims to balance expressive italic motion with dependable text performance.
Uppercase forms maintain classical italic cues (notably in the curved letters and the diagonal energy of straight strokes), while lowercase counters remain open and readable. The overall spacing and rhythm suggest a text-oriented design that can still carry emphasis through its pronounced italic movement and solid terminals.
