This is a slender italic slab serif with unbracketed, square-cut terminals that read as crisp and slightly chiseled. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast rhythm, while the italic angle gives the forms a continuous forward motion. The design favors open counters and generous spacing, with a restrained serif presence that stays sharp rather than heavy. Numerals and capitals follow the same disciplined construction, with clean joins and consistent terminal treatment throughout.
It suits editorial and long-form settings where an italic needs to read smoothly while retaining character—book typography, magazine features, essays, and refined pull quotes. It can also serve well in literary or heritage-leaning branding where a structured italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and literary, combining a traditional italic voice with a more structured, engineered edge from its square slab terminals. It feels formal without becoming ornate, suitable for sophisticated, quietly expressive typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, elegant italic that avoids traditional bracketed serifs in favor of sharper, squared terminals, creating a modernized classic texture for text and display emphasis.
The italic forms remain highly legible in continuous text, with a calm texture and minimal modulation. The slab terminals add a subtle horizontal emphasis at word edges, helping lines hold together while still appearing light and airy.
