A robust italic slab serif with broad proportions and a strong, even stroke presence. The serifs are thick and supportive with a subtly bracketed feel, giving the forms a planted, durable silhouette. Curves are round and full, joins are smooth, and counters stay open despite the heavy weight. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a forward rhythm that reads clearly at text sizes while still feeling substantial in display settings.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book cover titling where a bold italic voice is needed without losing structure. It also works for branding and packaging that wants a traditional, trustworthy tone with extra momentum, and for posters or pull quotes where strong texture and clear word shapes are beneficial.
The tone is assertive and traditional, pairing a classic editorial voice with a slightly energetic, forward-leaning stance. It feels dependable and established rather than delicate, with a bookish, institution-ready character that still carries enough personality for headlines.
Likely designed to deliver an authoritative slab-serif presence in italic form—combining sturdy, print-forward construction with a readable rhythm for real-world layout use. The emphasis appears to be on impact and clarity, keeping shapes open and consistent while leaning into a classic editorial sensibility.
Letterforms show a steady cadence and a compact, emphatic color on the page, with particularly strong horizontals and slabs that keep lines visually aligned. Numerals are sturdy and legible, matching the overall weight and slant to maintain consistency in mixed text.
