A sturdy italic slab-serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and a consistent, slightly sheared rhythm. Serifs are thick and assertive with mostly squared ends and gentle bracketing into the stems, giving the forms a grounded, workmanlike feel. Curves are roomy and round with open counters, while joins and terminals stay firm and blunt rather than delicate. Overall spacing reads generous and stable, supporting clear word shapes even with the italic slant.
Well suited for editorial typography, magazine features, and headline or subhead work where an italic voice is needed without becoming fragile. It can also perform in posters and packaging that benefit from a bold, print-forward slab-serif character, and as a contrasting italic in branding systems that want emphasis with authority.
The tone feels editorial and bookish, combining classic print warmth with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its italic motion adds energy and emphasis, while the heavy slabs keep the voice practical and dependable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to provide an italic slab-serif that stays robust at display sizes and remains legible in longer text settings. Its wide stance, low contrast, and strong slabs suggest a focus on clarity and impact while retaining a traditional, print-oriented feel.
The numerals share the same wide, robust construction and maintain strong horizontal footing through the slab terminals. Uppercase forms look especially solid and display-friendly, while the lowercase retains readability through open apertures and steady stroke widths.
