A slanted slab-serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The letterforms have a slightly calligraphic, oblique axis despite the robust slabs, creating a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture. Counters are open and proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate extenders and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are slanted to match, with straightforward forms and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed without becoming delicate. It also works effectively for pull quotes, captions, and emphasis within serif text systems, providing clear contrast in tone while maintaining readability.
The overall tone is composed and editorial—confident, traditional, and a touch old-style in its italic cadence. It reads as literary and formal rather than playful, with a sturdy, printed seriousness tempered by the motion of the slant.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity and sturdiness of a slab-serif structure with the expressive flow of an italic, yielding an emphasis face that stays readable and authoritative in continuous text.
Serifs remain prominent even at smaller sizes in the sample text, giving words a firm horizontal anchoring. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing an even, cohesive color in paragraph settings.
