A sturdy italic slab serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and pronounced slab-like feet that read as squared and weighty in text. The italic is a true slant with consistent angle across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a strong forward rhythm. Counters are relatively open and the spacing feels generous, while joins and corners show slightly softened/bracketed transitions that keep the heavy forms from feeling brittle. Numerals and capitals carry the same robust construction, giving the face a unified, blocky texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where the bold italic stance can carry emphasis on its own. It can also work for branding and packaging that need a sturdy, traditional-but-energetic serif voice. In longer passages it will read as dense and attention-grabbing, making it more appropriate for short editorial runs than extended body text.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, combining a classic serif framework with a punchy, poster-ready presence. Its forward slant and heavy slabs suggest motion and emphasis, lending a slightly sporty, headline-driven character without losing an editorial, traditional backbone.
The font appears designed to deliver an emphatic italic slab serif voice with strong presence, leveraging wide proportions and heavy, square-shouldered serifs for impact while keeping counters and spacing open enough for legibility in display text.
The design maintains an even color in paragraphs, with chunky serifs and terminals that anchor lines and help the italic retain clarity. Round letters stay full and stable, while diagonals and italics create lively word shapes that stand out in short bursts.
