A compact, italic slab-serif with bracketed, blocky terminals and clear, moderately contrasted strokes. The forms lean consistently with a steady rhythm, showing crisp horizontals and confident verticals, while curves keep a slightly calligraphic, oblique stress. Proportions are relatively narrow and space-efficient, with sturdy serifs and clean joins that hold up well in continuous text.
This style suits long-form editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or highlighted passages without losing firmness on the page. It also works well for magazine features, pull quotes, and compact setting situations where a sturdy italic texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary, with a traditional voice that reads as serious and established rather than playful. Its italic angle adds motion and emphasis, but the slab serifs keep it grounded and practical.
The design appears intended as a practical italic companion for slab-serif typography, balancing classic, text-oriented lettershapes with robust serifs for a steady, authoritative presence in print-like layouts.
Capitals present a restrained, traditional construction with pronounced slab feet, while lowercase maintains a readable, bookish texture. Numerals appear straightforward and balanced, matching the same compact width and serif treatment for consistent color in mixed settings.
