A slanted slab serif with crisp, unbracketed square serifs and generally low stroke modulation. Letterforms are clean and slightly mechanical, with flat terminals, open apertures, and rounded bowls that keep a steady rhythm in text. Proportions feel roomy, with generous sidebearings and a relatively restrained x-height that leaves clear ascenders and descenders. Numerals and capitals maintain the same disciplined, angular serif treatment, giving the set a consistent, engineered texture.
Well suited for editorial headers, pull quotes, and product or packaging typography where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing structure. It can also serve branding and poster work that benefits from a crisp, slightly industrial slab-serif feel, and for technical or instructional materials where legibility and orderly rhythm are priorities.
The overall tone reads efficient and slightly retro, like technical labeling or editorial typography with a contemporary slant. Its italic posture adds motion and emphasis while the squared serifs keep the voice firm and controlled rather than calligraphic.
Likely designed to offer an italic slab-serif option that stays clean and systematic, balancing emphasis with a stable, engineered framework. The squared serifs and open forms suggest an intention toward reliable readability and a disciplined typographic color in both display and text settings.
The design’s clarity comes from its straightforward joins and squared-off details, which produce a tidy baseline and a structured, repeatable pattern across lines. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the slab serifs remain prominent even in tighter shapes, reinforcing a sturdy, utilitarian character.
