A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and a compact, disciplined structure. Strokes are mostly even in weight, with subtle modulation and smooth joins that keep the texture steady across lines. The serifs are prominent and largely flat-ended, often lightly bracketed into the stems, giving letters a robust, print-like footing. Curves are broad and controlled, counters stay open, and the overall rhythm reads firm and upright despite the italic angle.
Well-suited for headlines and subheads where a firm, attention-getting italic is needed without sacrificing readability. It can also work effectively on book covers, editorial layouts, and poster-style applications that benefit from a classic slab-serif voice with added motion.
The tone is confident and slightly nostalgic, combining a newsroom/editorial flavor with a punchy, athletic edge. Its forward slant and blocky serifs convey momentum and emphasis, while the consistent stroke weight keeps it practical rather than flamboyant.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, energetic italic with the stability of slabs—an emphasis style that remains structured and readable. It aims to bridge traditional print sensibilities with a more dynamic, display-friendly stance.
The italic forms retain clear, conventional letter shapes, prioritizing legibility over calligraphic flourish. Numerals and capitals appear designed to carry strong presence in short bursts, and the slab detailing adds a tactile, ink-on-paper character in text settings.
