This typeface is a right-leaning italic slab serif with sturdy, unbracketed serifs and a predominantly monoline construction. Strokes feel firm and mechanical, with squared terminals and compact joins that keep the silhouettes clean at text sizes. Curves are slightly squarish in their handling, and counters stay open and straightforward rather than calligraphic. The numerals follow the same pragmatic drawing, with consistent stroke weight and a clear, no-nonsense rhythm.
It works well for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed with extra backbone, such as pull quotes, intros, and subheads. The strong slabs also make it suitable for packaging, posters, and brand systems that want a technical or utilitarian accent. In wayfinding or signage, it can provide a distinctive, sturdy italic emphasis when set with adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is functional and workmanlike, mixing an industrial slab presence with the forward motion of italic forms. It reads as confident and direct rather than delicate, with a mildly retro, engineered character.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity and sturdiness of a slab serif with the momentum of italic forms, delivering an engineered, emphatic texture that stays legible in running text while adding personality in display settings.
The italic slant is prominent and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving lines a steady directional flow. Spacing appears even and supportive of continuous text, while the slab serifs add emphasis and anchoring without relying on high contrast.
