A sturdy italic slab serif with heavy, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes are largely even, with rounded corners and slightly tapered entries that keep the texture from feeling rigid. Counters are open and the proportions stay workmanlike, while details like the curved foot on the uppercase J and the ball-like terminals on forms such as the lowercase a add a mild, friendly warmth. Numerals follow the same robust construction, reading clearly with a solid, poster-ready color.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic slab can provide emphasis with weight and authority, including pull quotes and subheads. The strong serifs and even color also make it effective for headlines, posters, and packaging where a compact, impactful texture is desired. It can work for short-to-medium text settings when a robust, old-school print voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, evoking newspaper and workshop signage aesthetics. Its italic slant adds motion and emphasis without becoming expressive or calligraphic, giving it a confident, purposeful voice.
Designed to deliver a dependable, no-nonsense italic slab serif with clear forms and consistent weight, offering emphasis and momentum while staying firmly in a practical, workhorse register.
In text, the italic rhythm is steady and the spacing feels generous enough to maintain clarity at larger paragraph sizes. The serif treatment and rounded stress points give it a slightly vintage, print-oriented feel while remaining straightforward and utilitarian.
