A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a noticeably broad set. Strokes are low-contrast and smooth, with gently rounded joins and a slightly calligraphic rhythm that keeps the texture lively rather than rigid. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, while terminals and serifs read as squared-off and substantial, helping the design hold together at display sizes. The figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel with soft curves and stable footing, matching the letters’ grounded, editorial tone.
Works best for editorial headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling where a sturdy italic slab can add emphasis and voice. It can also serve for short-to-medium text blocks when you want a traditional, print-oriented color with strong baseline anchoring.
The overall voice is literary and editorial—confident, readable, and slightly traditional, with an italic energy that feels rhetorical and persuasive. It suggests bookish authority rather than formal delicacy, making it well-suited to text that wants personality without losing clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver an assertive italic with the stability of slabs—combining a classic, print-like presence with a wide, approachable texture. It prioritizes legibility and rhetorical emphasis, aiming to read as both dependable and expressive.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive forward motion. The wide proportions and strong serifs create clear word shapes and a pronounced baseline presence, while rounded details keep the weight from feeling harsh.
