A bold italic slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a noticeable forward slant. Strokes are weighty with moderate contrast, and terminals tend to finish in flat, squared-off slabs that read cleanly at display sizes. The letterforms feel compact and slightly condensed in places, with tight interior counters and a rhythmic, stepped serif structure that gives lines of text a strong baseline and consistent texture. Numerals match the letters’ heft and slanted posture, with open curves and firm, blocky endings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display roles where its bold italic slant and slab-serifs can project emphasis. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a classic-but-forceful voice, and for magazine-style layouts where a strong typographic hierarchy is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, blending a classic slab-serif solidity with the momentum of an italic. It feels confident and punchy, with an editorial sharpness that can also lean sporty or poster-like depending on setting and size.
The design appears intended to provide an emphatic italic companion with the durability and clarity of a slab-serif, prioritizing strong presence, crisp terminals, and a steady reading rhythm in display text.
The italic construction is relatively structured rather than calligraphic, keeping counters and joins disciplined for strong word shapes. The heavier serifs and compact spacing create a dense color on the page, making the face especially impactful in headlines and short passages.
