An italic slab-serif with clean, fairly square-cut terminals and pronounced slabs that read clearly at text sizes. Strokes are relatively even with modest contrast, and the letterforms lean forward in a consistent, disciplined angle. Counters are open and the spacing is steady, giving lines a compact, efficient texture; the numerals follow the same straightforward, sturdy construction.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and subheads where an italic needs to carry real presence. It also suits branding and packaging that want a confident, no-nonsense tone, as well as UI/infographic labeling where a brisk, structured italic can help differentiate hierarchy.
This typeface feels energetic and editorial, with a crisp, purposeful slant that suggests motion and emphasis. Its sturdy slab detailing adds a pragmatic, workmanlike confidence, while the overall rhythm stays approachable and readable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a forceful italic voice without sacrificing clarity, using slab serifs and squared terminals to keep shapes stable and legible. The consistent slant and restrained detailing suggest a practical text-and-display companion aimed at adding emphasis and a slightly industrial edge in typography.
The slab serifs remain visible even on narrower joins, creating a consistent baseline and a firm horizontal emphasis. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, helping long lines of text maintain an even texture without turning overly calligraphic.
