A sturdy italic slab serif with blocky, bracketed serifs and low stroke modulation. The forms are compact and strongly weighted, with rounded corners and subtly cushioned joins that soften the otherwise solid silhouettes. Counters are moderately open, terminals are blunt, and the slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a steady, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with clear, simple shapes and substantial feet where applicable.

The overall tone feels practical and assertive, like a dependable headline face with a vintage editorial or industrial flavor. Its heavy, softened slabs add warmth and approachability while still reading as firm and authoritative. The italic angle contributes energy without becoming delicate or calligraphic.
