A sturdy italic serif with pronounced, slab-like terminals and a clear rightward slant. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thick verticals and heavier, squared-off serifs that feel slightly bracketed and wedge-like rather than perfectly rectangular. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while joins and shoulders appear compact and firm, giving the text a dense, high-impact texture. The figures are robust and strongly shaped, matching the letters’ assertive rhythm and emphasizing a poster-friendly, headline-oriented silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display settings where an emphatic italic voice is desirable. It can also work for logos and packaging that need a traditional yet energetic presence, and for sports or collegiate-style graphics where sturdy serifs and momentum read as confident and established.
The tone reads confident and editorial, with a classic print feel that suggests traditional publishing, collegiate graphics, or heritage branding. Its bold italic stance adds urgency and motion, making it feel energetic and declarative rather than quiet or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic serif voice with slab-like authority—combining classic editorial cues with a more assertive, poster-ready weight. The consistent slant and strong terminals suggest a focus on impact and recognizability at display sizes.
In running text the strong serif blocks and contrast create a dark, rhythmic line that holds together well at larger sizes. The italic construction appears consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, maintaining a cohesive forward-leaning momentum.
