This italic slab serif shows a right-leaning stance with sturdy, squared slab serifs that feel firmly attached and often slightly bracketed. Strokes are fairly even in weight with gentle modulation, producing a calm texture rather than sharp contrast. The letterforms have generous, open counters and smooth curves, while terminals and serifs maintain a crisp, flat finish that reads clearly in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same slanted, sturdy construction, keeping a consistent rhythm and presence alongside text.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed with extra firmness—book interiors, magazine features, reviews, and academic or literary layouts. It also works effectively for pull quotes, intros, and emphasis where a classic italic feel should remain sturdy and highly legible.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, combining traditional, old-style italic mannerisms with the solidity of slabs. It feels confident and credible—more “printed page” than “flashy display”—with a subtle warmth that suits long-form reading contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic companion with traditional proportions and readable, open forms, while leveraging slab serifs to add weight, stability, and a distinctly print-oriented personality.
Capitals look stately and stable, while the lowercase introduces a livelier cursive rhythm through angled entry strokes and italic joins. Spacing appears balanced for continuous text, giving paragraphs a steady, editorial color without looking compressed.
