A heavy italic slab serif with assertive, bracketed serifs and a pronounced forward slant. Strokes are robust with modest contrast, and many joins show softly scooped transitions that create an ink-trap-like bite in tight corners. The overall rhythm is broad and open, with wide capitals and generous counters, while lowercase forms keep a steady, readable structure. Terminals often finish with rounded or teardrop details (notably in the lowercase and figures), adding a lively, slightly calligraphic finish to an otherwise sturdy slab framework.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and poster work where its bold italic presence and slab serifs can carry a layout. It can also work well for branding and packaging that want a retro editorial voice, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The tone mixes classic print authority with a buoyant, energetic italic gesture. It feels vintage and editorial—confident and slightly playful—suggesting mid-century headline typography rather than quiet text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, high-impact italic slab for attention-grabbing typography—combining the solidity of slabs with animated terminals and sculpted joins to keep large text expressive and distinctive.
Figures are oldstyle-leaning in spirit, with curvy, rolling shapes and prominent ball-like terminals that stand out in display sizes. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping long samples keep momentum while still reading clearly.
