This is a slanted slab-serif with sturdy, squared-off feet and clear bracketed joins into the stems. Strokes stay relatively even, producing a solid, low-contrast texture, while the italic angle introduces forward motion without becoming calligraphic. Letterforms are compact and disciplined, with open counters and straightforward construction that keeps the rhythm steady in text. Numerals and capitals feel robust and slightly condensed in their stance, reinforcing a firm, editorial presence.
It performs well in editorial settings—headlines, decks, and pull quotes—where an italic voice needs weight and clarity. The sturdy slabs also suit posters and brand marks that want a classic, institutional flavor while remaining readable at medium sizes.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, combining an academic seriousness with a slightly energetic, italic push. It reads as authoritative and pragmatic rather than decorative, suited to content that wants to feel established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif voice with the firmness and stability of slab construction, balancing forward emphasis with a disciplined, text-friendly rhythm. It aims for clear impact without relying on high contrast or ornamental detail.
The italic shaping is consistent across cases, and the slab serifs add a strong baseline and clear word-shape anchoring. In running text the style creates a bold, dark emphasis, making it effective for highlighting or for headlines that need structure without high contrast.
