This typeface is an oblique slab-serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and largely monoline stroke weight. The letterforms are broad and open, with generous internal counters and a steady, readable rhythm. Serifs tend to be short and firm, often lightly bracketed into the stems, while terminals stay blunt and squared-off. The italic slant is pronounced but controlled, giving the design forward motion without becoming calligraphic; curves remain smooth and structurally consistent, and numerals follow the same robust, utilitarian construction.
It works well for editorial headlines, book and magazine typography, and packaging where a sturdy, slightly vintage voice is desired. The clear, open shapes also suit posters and branding systems that need a dependable slab-serif with an energetic italic presence.
The overall tone evokes practical print and mid‑century typewritten/editorial material—confident, slightly nostalgic, and matter-of-fact. Its slanted stance adds energy and personality, balancing a no-nonsense, mechanical sturdiness with a conversational feel in text.
The design appears intended to merge utilitarian slab-serif construction with a distinctly italic, typewriter-like cadence, producing a practical text and display face that feels both robust and personable. Its wide, open forms and firm serifs suggest an emphasis on readability and a recognizable retro editorial texture.
Uppercase forms read cleanly and sign-like, while the lowercase shows more character through its slanted, looped joins and compact finishing strokes, reinforcing a typewriter-inspired texture in running copy. The combination of wide proportions and strong slab serifs helps maintain clarity even in dense lines.
