A slanted slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a generally low-contrast stroke structure. The forms are broad and stable, with generous horizontal proportions and compact, efficient counters that keep color even across lines. Serifs appear mostly bracketed and firm, and many strokes terminate with flat, cut-looking ends that reinforce a blocky rhythm. The italic construction reads more like an oblique with consistent slant and minimal calligraphic modulation, producing a crisp, mechanical texture in text.
This font is well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a strong italic voice is needed without high-contrast delicacy. It also performs well for editorial display in magazines and for branding or packaging that benefits from a robust, retro-leaning slab serif texture.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic, slightly retro editorial feel. Its slanted stance adds momentum and emphasis, giving it a sporty, headline-forward energy while staying grounded and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic italic slab serif that combines sturdy construction with fast, forward motion. Its wide stance and squared terminals aim for high impact and consistent, readable texture in display and short text settings.
Figures are clear and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ broad stance and slabby detailing. In paragraph settings the dense, even typographic color and the firm serif rhythm create a strong presence, especially when set large or with tight tracking.
