This typeface is an italicized slab serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and compact, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms lean consistently to the right and show a slightly technical rhythm: rounded bowls are kept tight, curves are clean, and terminals end with blunt, rectangular slabs. Proportions feel moderately wide with a stable, even color in text, and the numerals follow the same no-nonsense construction with clear, open counters.
It works well for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads. The solid slab construction also suits branding and packaging that want a confident, slightly industrial character, and it can hold up in poster-style headlines where a dynamic slant helps drive attention.
The overall tone is brisk and utilitarian with a retro-leaning, print-minded flavor. Its slanted stance adds motion and emphasis while the slab structure keeps it grounded and workmanlike.
The design appears intended to deliver an energetic italic with the stability and punch of slab serifs—combining motion with a strong baseline presence for practical display and editorial settings.
Capitals read strong and upright in structure despite the slant, while the lowercase maintains clarity through simple joins and generous apertures. The italic angle and firm slab terminals make the face feel confident in headlines without becoming overly decorative.
