An italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and gently tapered, calligraphic strokes. The italic angle is steady and moderate, with smooth curves and slightly pointed, wedge-like terminals where strokes thin out. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with open counters, compact bowls, and a consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Numerals appear oldstyle in spirit, with varying heights and a flowing, italic construction that matches the letters.
Well-suited for long-form reading settings such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where an italic is used extensively for emphasis, quotations, or captions. It can also serve in refined branding, packaging, or cultural materials that benefit from a classic, scholarly tone.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, suggesting a composed, traditional voice rather than a contemporary or tech-forward one. Its slanted posture and sharp slabs add a subtle sense of momentum while staying restrained and formal.
The design appears intended to provide a text-friendly italic companion with unmistakable slab-serif structure, combining sharp, squared serifs with a fluent, calligraphic italic skeleton for readable, elegant emphasis.
Capitals read clean and authoritative with broad, flat serifs, while the lowercase shows more handwritten influence in joins and terminals. The design balances crisp slab structure with a soft, humanist flow, making the texture feel even and comfortable in continuous reading.
