A sturdy italic serif with slab-like, rectangular serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes are relatively even, with rounded corners and subtle swelling that reads more as weight modulation than high contrast. Counters are open and legible, and the italics lean is moderate, giving the forms a stable, controlled rhythm. The lowercase shows compact proportions with a clear, readable x-height, while the caps feel solid and slightly wide-set. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the same firm, squared-off finishing.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing weight and stability. It also fits book covers and editorial branding that want a classic feel with more impact than a typical text italic, and it can work in posters or campaign materials where dense, confident typography is desirable.
The overall tone feels traditional and confident, pairing a classic text-italic flavor with a tougher, more utilitarian slab presence. It suggests editorial seriousness with a hint of athletic or institutional character, making it feel assertive rather than delicate.
Likely designed to deliver an italic that reads strongly in display contexts while maintaining the familiar, readable structure of a serif text face. The squared slab-like serifs and sturdy rhythm appear intended to add authority and punch, keeping the style cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
In text, the heavy presence and squared serif endings create strong word shapes and dark color on the page. The italic construction remains clear at larger sizes, and the consistent terminals keep the texture uniform across mixed-case settings.
