This typeface is an italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a clean, disciplined stroke rhythm. Curves are smooth and generously open, while joins and terminals stay sharp and squared-off, producing a clear, structured texture. Letterforms lean consistently to the right with a steady, bookish cadence; counters remain readable and the overall spacing feels even, giving text a tidy, composed flow. Figures follow the same italic posture and keep to simple, legible forms that harmonize with the lowercase.
Well suited for editorial settings such as book interiors, magazine features, essays, and introductions where an italic voice is needed over sustained reading. It also works effectively for pull quotes, captions, and refined branding copy when a classic italic tone with sturdy serif structure is desired.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary—polished, traditional, and a bit formal—without becoming ornate. Its italic slant adds motion and emphasis, while the slab serifs lend authority and a grounded presence suited to curated, text-forward design.
The likely intention is to provide an italic companion with strong, squared slab structure—combining emphasis and movement with a stable, traditional typographic feel. It aims to remain readable in text while offering a distinctive, authoritative italic flavor.
The design balances calligraphic italic movement with squared slab details, creating a distinctive tension between smooth bowls and angular serif geometry. The sample text shows a consistent color on the page, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a controlled, measured presence in longer lines.
