A sturdy italic slab-serif with square, blocky serifs and largely unbracketed joins. Strokes show a clear thick–thin rhythm without becoming delicate, and curves are compact and controlled, giving counters a slightly condensed, purposeful feel. The italic slant is assertive and consistent, with firmly anchored horizontals and strong vertical stress, producing a steady texture in continuous text. Numerals and capitals keep the same robust, squared-off finishing, emphasizing crisp terminals and a solid baseline presence.
This design suits editorial environments where italic needs to carry emphasis with weight and clarity—magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes. It can also serve in headlines and subheads that benefit from a traditional voice with a modern, squared finish.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as dependable rather than decorative. Its italic adds energy and forward motion while the slab structure keeps it grounded, creating a confident, scholarly voice suitable for emphatic but measured typography.
The font appears designed to deliver an italic with strong typographic color and dependable legibility, pairing classic serif letterforms with firm, square slabs for emphasis and stability. It prioritizes a confident, print-oriented texture that stands up well in both display moments and extended reading.
The combination of strong slabs and a pronounced italic angle yields high impact in headings while remaining structured in paragraph settings. Letterforms maintain a uniform, disciplined construction across cases, with consistent terminal treatment that reinforces the font’s engineered, no-nonsense character.
