A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, unbracketed serifs and predominantly squared terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp joins, producing a firm, mechanical rhythm while maintaining clear letter separation. The italic construction feels more oblique than cursive, keeping many forms relatively upright in structure while leaning consistently. Counters are fairly open, curves are tightened into slightly angular transitions, and the overall texture reads compact and strongly defined.
This style works well for editorial headlines and subheads where an italic with authority is needed, as well as posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif presence. It can also serve as a complementary emphasis face in layouts, providing contrast against more neutral romans or sans serifs.
The font conveys a pragmatic, industrial tone with an editorial sharpness. Its italic slant adds motion and emphasis without becoming delicate, giving it a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to punchy statements and structured branding.
The design appears intended to blend the solidity of a slab serif with the forward motion of an italic, aiming for emphasis that remains structured and legible. Its square-cut serifs and controlled contrast suggest a focus on clarity, impact, and a utilitarian, contemporary-retro sensibility.
The numerals appear robust and slightly condensed in feel, matching the typeface’s squared, slab-driven language. Across the set, the consistent serif treatment and steady slant create an even, recognizable color in text, while the angular details help it stand out at larger sizes.
