A heavy italic slab serif with broad proportions and firmly built, rectangular serifs. Strokes are low-contrast with a consistent, ink-trap-free weight and clear, squared terminals, giving the letters a blocky, sturdy silhouette. The italic is a true slant rather than a cursive construction, maintaining upright, architectural forms with tightened joins and strong horizontals. Counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is compact and energetic, with large, emphatic capitals and solid, no-nonsense figures.
Works best for short-to-medium display text such as headlines, deck copy, posters, and brand marks where a strong, slanted slab voice is desirable. It can also suit packaging and signage that need bold emphasis and high impact, especially in all-caps or mixed-case settings at larger sizes.
The tone is assertive and traditional, with a headline-driven, editorial feel. Its weight and slanted stance read as energetic and competitive, while the slab structure adds a dependable, workmanlike character that evokes classic signage and print display typography.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif backbone, combining sturdy rectangular serifs with an italic slant for motion and emphasis. The intent appears oriented toward display typography that remains straightforward and legible while projecting strength and confidence.
The uppercase shows especially strong presence and uniform color, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation between forms (notably the two-storey-style structures and sturdy bowls). Numerals are wide and bold, suited to prominent settings where quick recognition matters.
