A right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a calm, low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms show a measured italic rhythm: rounded characters are softly oval, joins are smooth, and terminals finish with compact, squared serif blocks that keep the texture even. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, clear apertures, and numerals that align comfortably with the text color, yielding a consistent, workmanlike page tone.
Well-suited to body text and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing stability. It also works cleanly in reports, essays, and pull quotes, providing a strong, readable texture with a subtly traditional character.
The overall tone is dependable and businesslike, with an editorial slant that feels traditional rather than decorative. Its italic energy adds motion and emphasis without becoming overly calligraphic, making it read as confident, composed, and practical.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken italic slab serif for everyday typography—built to carry extended text with steady rhythm, clear word shapes, and a firm serif structure while still delivering emphasis and momentum.
Serifs remain prominent at both caps and lowercase, helping maintain clarity at text sizes while giving headings a firm, anchored presence. The slant is consistent across the alphabet and figures, producing a unified forward rhythm in continuous reading.
