A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with chunky, bracketed serifs and softly rounded corners. Strokes are broadly even, with minimal contrast and a compact, dense texture that reads dark on the page. The italics feel constructed rather than calligraphic, with stable verticals, squared terminals, and a consistent serif rhythm that holds together across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters are moderately open and proportions are slightly condensed, supporting a tight, energetic set.
Best suited to display roles where a strong, italicized voice is needed—headlines, subheads, posters, and prominent callouts. It can also work for short editorial blocks or product/brand messaging where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable, especially when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a familiar, slightly vintage flavor. Its bold, slanted stance gives it momentum and a headline-friendly punch, while the slab structure keeps it grounded and dependable.
The design appears intended as a robust, no-nonsense slab italic that delivers emphasis without becoming ornate. It balances a utilitarian structure with just enough softness in corners and bracketing to keep the heavy weight readable and visually cohesive.
The set shows a clear, repeated serif motif on both straight and curved letters, helping maintain continuity at larger sizes. Numerals match the letter weight closely and carry the same brisk italic angle, reinforcing a cohesive typographic color in mixed text.
