A sturdy italic slab-serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and low stroke contrast. The forms lean consistently to the right and show slightly tapered strokes and wedge-like terminals that keep counters open. Curves are full and round, while joins and corners stay firm and squared, producing a clear, print-oriented rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel solid and emphatic, with a compact, forward-driving texture in continuous text.
Works well for editorial headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and poster typography where an italic emphasis is desired without sacrificing weight and stability. It can also suit packaging and branding that benefit from a classic slab-serif presence and a slightly rugged print texture.
The overall tone is practical and confident, with a slightly rugged, ink-on-paper character. It reads as traditional and workmanlike rather than delicate, giving headlines and short passages a dependable, editorial voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a dependable slab-serif voice in an italic style—built for impact, clarity, and robust reproduction in print-like contexts while maintaining a straightforward, workhorse demeanor.
Serifs appear blunt and substantial, helping create strong horizontals and a grounded baseline. The italic construction feels purposeful and steady, supporting emphasis without becoming calligraphic or overly dynamic.
