This typeface is an italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs that read as small rectangular terminals rather than tapered finishing strokes. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, giving the letterforms a steady, low-modulation texture, while the italic angle introduces a gentle forward flow. Counters are open and rounded, curves are smoothly drawn, and the spacing feels generous, producing an airy rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a distinctly slanted, lively construction (notably in forms like a, e, g, and y), and the figures are similarly sloped with clear, straightforward silhouettes.
It fits well in editorial layouts, book or magazine typography, and literary or academic contexts where an italic voice is needed without losing structure. It can also serve for elegant packaging copy or branding lines that benefit from a refined, readable slant.
Overall it conveys a bookish, editorial tone—quietly traditional but not stiff—combining the authority of slab serifs with the movement of an italic. The texture feels composed and readable, with a slightly literary, old-style warmth suited to thoughtful content.
The likely intention is to provide a refined italic companion with slab-serif solidity—an italic that remains stable and legible while adding forward motion and emphasis. It aims for clarity and calm authority rather than high-contrast drama.
The design’s squared serifs stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain a cohesive texture in running text. The italic construction is evident throughout, and the wide set with open counters keeps lines from feeling crowded at display sizes or in short passages.
