A lively oblique slab serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and a firm baseline presence. Strokes are fairly even with minimal contrast, while the italic construction introduces angular joins and forward momentum. The letterforms are broad and open, with generous internal counters and clear, uncluttered shapes; curves are smoothly drawn but finish in crisp, squared terminals. Numerals and capitals feel robust and slightly condensed by the slant, maintaining a consistent rhythm and strong color in text.
This face works best for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial passages where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing weight and presence. It also suits branding and packaging that benefit from a confident, slightly retro slab-serif flavor and strong readability at display sizes.
The overall tone blends pragmatic clarity with a vintage, editorial edge. Its slabbiness reads dependable and assertive, while the italic angle adds energy and a mildly sporty, headline-ready character.
The design appears intended to provide an italic companion with the solidity of a slab serif—combining sturdy construction, clear counters, and squared finishing with a forward-leaning, attention-getting cadence for editorial and display typography.
The italic is not calligraphic; it feels constructed, with stable geometry and emphatic slab finishing. Spacing appears comfortable in continuous text, supporting legibility while preserving a bold, graphic texture.
