A right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and subtly bracketed joins that soften the corners. Strokes show moderate contrast, with crisp, tapered diagonals and a slightly calligraphic rhythm that keeps the texture lively in continuous text. Uppercase forms are broad and assertive with compact counters, while the lowercase is more flowing and compact, creating a clear hierarchy. Numerals are strongly shaped and slightly varied in width, matching the energetic, forward-moving cadence of the letters.
Well suited to editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where an italic voice needs both authority and motion. It can also work for book jackets and branding that want a classic slab foundation with added dynamism, especially at display sizes where the serif shapes and contrast read clearly.
The overall tone feels editorial and self-assured, balancing a traditional bookish sensibility with a punchy, contemporary edge. Its italic slant and firm slabs add momentum and emphasis, giving the face a persuasive, headline-ready voice without losing a classic print character.
Likely designed to deliver an emphatic italic slab serif voice that stays grounded and legible while projecting energy. The combination of firm slabs, moderate contrast, and a lively slant suggests an intention to bridge traditional print conventions with attention-grabbing display performance.
The design’s squared terminals and robust serifs help maintain presence at larger sizes, while the moderate contrast and compact internal spaces create a darker, more saturated text color. The italic angle is consistent and contributes to a cohesive, fast-reading rhythm in longer passages.
