An italic slab serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke pattern. The letterforms lean with a consistent slant and show crisp, fairly square-ended terminals, while the serifs read as substantial and supportive rather than delicate. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderate apertures and open counters; curves are smooth and restrained, and joins stay clean even at small interior spaces. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm and solid slab treatment, giving the set a coherent, text-forward texture.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed frequently. It’s also a good choice for pull quotes, subheads, captions, and other emphasis-driven text settings where sturdy serifs help maintain clarity across sizes.
The overall tone is editorial and literary, balancing seriousness with an approachable warmth. Its pronounced italic movement and firm slab structure suggest confident emphasis—suited to thoughtful, crafted typography rather than flashy display.
Likely intended as a dependable italic companion for text typography, combining traditional slab-serif authority with a smoother, more contemporary italic flow. The design emphasizes stable readability and consistent texture while still delivering clear emphasis and personality.
The italic construction is strong enough to create clear word-shapes in running text, and the heavier slab serifs add a grounded baseline and horizontal emphasis. The design maintains an even color across the sample paragraph, with consistent spacing and a calm, readable cadence.
