A sturdy italic slab-serif with a pronounced rightward slant, heavy stems, and firm, blocky serifs that read as squared-off yet subtly bracketed into the main strokes. Contrast is moderate, with thicker verticals and slightly lighter joins, producing a lively but controlled rhythm. The letterforms feel broad and set with generous width, while counters stay relatively compact, increasing density and punch. Curves are smoothly drawn with occasional sharp inflections and small notches at joins that add crispness at larger sizes. Numerals and lowercase share the same weighty, forward-leaning structure, keeping a consistent, emphatic texture in running text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks where a bold typographic voice is needed. It can work for short editorial callouts or packaging copy when set with comfortable spacing, but its dense color and strong slabs make it most effective at display sizes and attention-grabbing messaging.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining a classic print sensibility with a display-ready immediacy. It suggests heritage and credibility, while the italic slant and chunky slabs bring motion and a headline-driven presence.
Designed to deliver a forceful italic slab-serif look that balances traditional serif authority with modern, high-impact readability. The construction prioritizes a strong typographic “stamp” and consistent texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals for branding and display use.
Uppercase shapes appear deliberately robust with strong horizontal anchoring, while the lowercase shows a slightly more compact, workmanlike build that reinforces color on the line. The italic construction maintains clarity in dense settings, though the heavy weight and tight counters push it toward impactful rather than delicate applications.
