This typeface is an italic slab serif with sturdy, squared serifs and gently rounded joins. Strokes remain fairly even in thickness, with only modest modulation, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The letterforms show crisp, flat-ended terminals and a slightly calligraphic construction, with open counters and a steady rhythm that keeps words cohesive in continuous text. Lowercase proportions sit around a normal x-height, and the numerals appear oldstyle with ascending and descending figures that follow the italic slant.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or subheads. It can also work in branding and packaging when a classic, authoritative italic is desired, especially where sturdy serifs and a strong baseline presence help anchor the design.
The overall tone feels bookish and editorial, combining the authority of slab serifs with a fluent, literary italic motion. It reads as traditional and cultivated rather than playful, with enough emphasis to feel expressive without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident text italic with the structural support of slabs—balancing readability and emphasis for editorial settings. Its even color, consistent slant, and sturdy terminals suggest a focus on dependable, refined communication rather than display-driven novelty.
Capitals maintain a stately, slightly wide stance, while the lowercase has a flowing, connected texture typical of text italics. The slab serifs add a firm baseline and clear word shapes, helping maintain clarity even with the oblique stress and angled entry/exit strokes.
