A heavy italic slab-serif with compact counters and sturdy, block-like serifs. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with gently bracketed joins that soften the otherwise squared forms. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong forward rhythm; terminals and serifs read as firm and flat, with slightly rounded edges that keep the weight from feeling brittle. The lowercase shows a workmanlike structure with sturdy stems and a broad, dark texture, while the numerals match the same dense, stable color.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, posters, and branding where a dense, impactful italic voice is desirable. It can also work for short editorial callouts or packaging text that needs to feel sturdy and traditional, provided spacing and size are tuned to avoid overcrowding.
The overall tone is authoritative and energetic, with a classic, print-forward feel. It suggests traditional publishing and headline typography—confident and a bit nostalgic—without becoming delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-leaning slab-serif voice that reads as robust and attention-grabbing, while retaining familiar, print-era shapes for an editorial or collegiate flavor.
At text sizes the face builds a very dark, even color, making word shapes bold and emphatic; the italic angle adds urgency and motion. The slab construction and tight inner spaces give it a strong presence that can dominate a layout if used in long passages.
