A slab serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke texture. The design is set on a noticeable leftward slant, giving it a reverse-leaning, lively rhythm while retaining a largely upright, print-like construction. Serifs are broad and supportive, often with gentle bracketing and slightly softened corners that keep the heavy shapes from feeling overly rigid. Counters are open and legible, and the overall color on the page is even, with a slightly irregular, analog impression rather than a strictly geometric finish.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a distinctive slanted texture can add character without sacrificing readability. It also fits branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a retro, print-forward tone and strong serif silhouettes.
The reverse slant and chunky slabs create a distinctive, slightly off-kilter personality that feels vintage and editorial at once. It reads as confident and practical, but with a playful edge—like a classic print face viewed through a typewriter or poster-printing lens.
Likely designed to combine the dependable structure of a slab serif with the energy of a reverse slant, producing a font that stands out in display settings while remaining workable for reading. The emphasis appears to be on bold, sturdy terminals and an intentionally idiosyncratic rhythm that evokes older printing and typewritten aesthetics.
In text, the leftward lean adds motion and a conversational cadence, while the bold slab terminals anchor lines and maintain clarity. Numerals match the sturdy serif logic and keep a strong, sign-like presence, making figures feel emphatic without becoming decorative.
