A sturdy oblique slab serif with broad proportions and low stroke contrast. The letterforms show thick, squared slabs with modest bracketing and firm, flat terminals, producing a strong horizontal emphasis. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a consistent rhythm and clean counters; joins and diagonals feel slightly compressed by the italic slant, giving the forms a purposeful forward motion. Numerals and capitals read bold and stable, while the lowercase maintains clear, workmanlike shapes with rounded bowls and decisive feet.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where a dark, authoritative texture is desirable. It can also support branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional slab-serif voice with added motion, and it holds up well at medium-to-large sizes where the slab details and oblique rhythm are most apparent.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, combining an editorial seriousness with a slightly sporty, collegiate flavor. Its slanted stance adds energy without becoming casual, keeping the voice crisp, confident, and pragmatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly legible italic slab serif with a classic, print-forward feel. Its broad stance and emphatic serifs suggest a focus on strong presence and dependable readability rather than delicate refinement.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to drive momentum in text, while the heavy slabs keep the texture anchored and dark. Spacing appears even and readable in paragraph settings, with strong word shapes and a consistent baseline presence.
