A sturdy italic slab-serif with broad, even strokes and clearly defined, square-ended serifs. The letterforms keep consistent widths and spacing, producing a disciplined, typewriter-like rhythm. Curves are smooth and fairly open, with modest modulation and crisp joins that read cleanly at text sizes. The italic slant is pronounced but controlled, and the overall proportions feel wide and stable, with a straightforward, utilitarian texture across lines of copy.
Well-suited for settings that benefit from consistent character widths and a firm, high-structure texture, such as code blocks, tables, forms, and technical documentation. It also works effectively for editorial pull quotes, annotations, and emphasis within text where an italic with more bite than a typical book italic is desired.
The font conveys a practical, slightly nostalgic tone—like a dependable office italic or classic editorial typewriter voice. Its firm slabs and consistent cadence feel matter-of-fact and functional, while the slant adds a subtle sense of motion and emphasis without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to deliver an italic voice that remains robust and highly legible under constrained spacing, combining typewriter regularity with slab-serif authority. The goal appears to be dependable readability and a distinct, utilitarian personality for structured text and emphatic inline use.
Figures are compact and sturdy, matching the letters in color and presence, and the overall set maintains a consistent baseline and spacing that reinforces its mechanical regularity. The slab treatment stays prominent across uppercase and lowercase, giving text a strong horizontal footing and a confident, steady color on the page.
