This is an italic slab-serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and gently bracketed joins that keep the shapes feeling anchored rather than sharp. Strokes carry a subtle, consistent modulation with a calligraphic slant, producing lively diagonals and a rhythmic left-to-right flow. The capitals are wide and formal with prominent slab feet, while the lowercase shows a traditional italic structure with open counters and compact, efficient joins. Figures are upright-leaning and clear, with strong baseline presence and simple, readable forms.
It performs well in editorial settings where an italic needs both emphasis and durability—magazine copy, books, essays, and pull quotes. The strong slab footing also makes it useful for refined branding, headlines, and subheads that want a classic, authoritative italic without excessive contrast.
The overall tone is editorial and bookish, combining old-style warmth with a pragmatic, hardworking sturdiness. Its italic energy adds emphasis and motion without becoming flamboyant, giving it a composed, scholarly voice suited to serious content.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable italic companion with slab-serif solidity—melding traditional italic forms with a robust, print-friendly structure for clear reading and confident emphasis.
Serifs and terminals stay consistent across letters and numerals, creating a steady texture in text. The italic angle is moderate and the spacing appears even, helping paragraphs read smoothly while still delivering noticeable typographic flavor.
