A sturdy italic slab serif with weighty, bracketed serifs and smoothly modeled curves. Strokes show clear shaping and moderate contrast, with rounded joins and occasional ball-like terminals that soften the otherwise muscular build. Uppercase forms are broad and assertive, while the lowercase is compact and lively with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a gently rhythmic, right-leaning flow. Numerals are bold and highly legible, matching the heavy baseline presence and slightly calligraphic modulation of the letters.
Works well for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where a bold, energetic serif is needed. It suits branding and packaging that want a heritage or craft-leaning voice, and it can add character to editorial layouts when used for titles, decks, or emphasis.
The overall tone feels classic and confident, with a vintage editorial warmth rather than a cold industrial slab. Its italic energy and chunky serifs suggest tradition and authority, while the rounded details add approachability and charm.
Likely designed to deliver a classic slab-serif authority in an italic, display-forward package—pairing strong, bracketed serifs with softened curves to stay readable and personable while still making a statement.
Spacing and proportions read as display-oriented: the letterforms hold together in larger text blocks, but the strong slabbing and lively terminals are most distinctive when set at headline sizes. The italic angle is consistent, giving lines a cohesive forward motion without becoming overly cursive.
