A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and subtly bracketed connections that keep the joins smooth rather than abrupt. Strokes show moderate contrast and a gently calligraphic construction, with diagonals and curves carrying a lively, slightly tapered rhythm. The italic is assertive and compact, with firm horizontal slabs on capitals and crisp, squared terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with rounded bowls and energetic entry/exit strokes that add motion without becoming cursive.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong italic voice is desired. It also fits book covers, magazine layouts, and poster typography that benefits from a classic slab-serif foundation with added dynamism and emphasis.
The overall tone feels editorial and bookish, combining a classic print sensibility with a punchy, headline-ready presence. It suggests vintage publishing and academic gravitas, while the italic angle adds urgency and emphasis suited to quotes, leads, and highlighted passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif structure in an italic that remains highly legible and typographically conventional, while adding enough motion and contrast to feel expressive in display settings.
Capitals are broad and stable with pronounced slab feet, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture and consistent slant across the alphabet. Numerals appear robust and straightforward, matching the same serif treatment and maintaining a cohesive, print-oriented color.
