An italic slab serif with broad proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The serifs are sturdy and clearly bracketed, creating firm horizontal anchors while the stems and bowls maintain smooth, even weight. Counters are open and the rhythm is calm and consistent, with a slightly calligraphic, forward-leaning flow that remains clean and controlled in text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, essays, and long-form articles where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, or pull quotes. It also fits corporate publishing, reports, and academic layouts that benefit from a stable slab-serif voice, and can work for packaging or branding that wants a straightforward, sturdy italic with clear presence.
This typeface gives a composed, editorial tone with a gentle sense of motion from its italic construction. The slab serifs add a practical, grounded feel, balancing the lively slant with a businesslike seriousness. Overall it reads as confident and straightforward rather than decorative or nostalgic.
The design appears intended as a dependable italic companion for text work—providing emphasis and hierarchy without shifting into high-contrast elegance or ornamental styling. Its wide set, solid slab serifs, and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clarity and durable typographic color across lines and paragraphs.
In the samples, the numerals and capitals share the same steady, grounded construction as the lowercase, keeping a cohesive texture in mixed settings. The overall spacing and width create a comfortable, unhurried line, and the italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis while staying highly legible.
