A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, blocky forms and a compact, even color. Serifs are bold and largely unbracketed, often with angled cuts that create a chiseled, slightly rugged finish. Strokes stay fairly even, with flattened terminals and squared-off joins that emphasize a constructed, mechanical rhythm. Letterforms show mild irregularities in width and stance that add texture while keeping a consistent, readable skeleton across caps, lowercase, and figures.
This font is well suited to headlines, deck copy, and short paragraphs where a strong typographic voice is desired. It works especially well in editorial layouts, posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a vintage-industrial slab-serif feel. For longer reading, it performs best with generous size and spacing so the dense slabs don’t darken the page.
The overall tone feels editorial and retro, with an assertive, workmanlike presence. Its angled slabs and carved terminals evoke vintage printing and utilitarian signage, giving text a confident, slightly gritty personality without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness of a slab-serif with an italicized, energetic posture, producing a confident display text face that still retains practical legibility. The squared, carved details suggest a deliberate nod to traditional print and signage aesthetics while keeping forms straightforward and consistent.
Capitals are upright-leaning but clearly slanted as a set, while the lowercase maintains a steady, compact rhythm suitable for continuous lines. Numerals follow the same slabbed, angular treatment and appear designed to hold their shape at display sizes.
