A slanted slab-serif with a sturdy, even stroke and broad proportions. Serifs are bold and mostly squared off, with subtle bracketing and softened joins that keep the shapes from feeling rigid. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, O, and the bowls of a, b, d, p), while diagonals and terminals retain a blunt, workmanlike finish. The letterforms show a clear italic construction—angled stems, flowing entry/exit strokes on lowercase, and a lively, handwritten-like movement—yet remain disciplined and consistent across the set.
Works well for editorial text, pull quotes, and brand copy that benefits from a readable, characterful italic voice. Its sturdy slabs and broad rhythm also suit packaging, menus, posters, and display lines where a vintage-industrial flavor is desired without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone reads as classic and utilitarian with a warm, human cadence. It evokes typewriter and mid-century print texture—serious enough for reading, but with an informal, approachable slant that adds personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to blend the dependability of slab serifs with the motion of an italic hand, producing a practical text face that still feels personable. It aims for a nostalgic, print-oriented impression while maintaining a consistent, sturdy texture across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms are assertive and sign-like, while the lowercase introduces more cursive energy (especially in j, w, x, and y), creating a distinct hierarchy between cases. Numerals match the sturdy slab theme and keep the same angled stance, supporting continuous text and data-like settings without looking overly technical.
