A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and gently bracketed joins that keep the texture smooth rather than abrupt. Strokes are largely even, with slightly heavier horizontals and softened corners that suggest an inked, print-oriented construction. Letterforms show a compact, controlled rhythm: rounded bowls are full, counters are open, and several glyphs feature small ball-like terminals and subtle notches where strokes meet, adding a lightly “cut” or stamped feel. Numerals and capitals read solid and stable, while the italic angle and curved entry/exit strokes keep the overall color lively in text.
Works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and short-to-medium passages where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing solidity. It also suits headlines, decks, and pull quotes that benefit from a traditional yet distinctive slab-serif flavor.
The tone is editorial and bookish, blending a traditional, print-era warmth with a practical sturdiness. It feels confident and slightly vintage—suited to content that wants to sound established, informed, and approachable rather than sleek or futuristic.
Likely designed as an italic companion with a robust slab-serif backbone, aiming for dependable readability while adding personality through bracketed slabs, rounded terminals, and subtle inked details.
In running text the slant is pronounced enough to signal emphasis, yet the slab structure maintains a consistent baseline and strong word shapes. The combination of square-ended slabs with rounded detailing creates a distinctive mix of firmness and friendliness.
