A slanted slab serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and prominent, blocky serifs softened by slight bracketing. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving lines a forward, energetic rhythm. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with open counters and clear joins; terminals tend to end in flattened, squared-off slabs rather than sharp points. The lowercase shows a moderately generous x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same oblique stance and robust, even color.
Well suited for editorial design where an italic voice is needed as a primary stylistic layer—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and subheads. It can also work effectively on book jackets and posters where a sturdy, traditional feel with added dynamism is desirable, and for branding that wants a classic, print-rooted tone with emphasis.
The overall tone feels editorial and slightly retro, like classic print typography with a pragmatic, workmanlike confidence. The slant adds motion and emphasis without becoming delicate, balancing friendliness with authority. It reads as bookish and established, suited to conveying substance rather than flash.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic slab serif that stays solid and readable while adding expressive forward movement. It prioritizes consistent texture, strong serif signaling, and a familiar print cadence for use in attention-drawing text settings.
In text, the font holds a steady gray value with minimal sparkle from contrast, relying instead on serif mass and italic cadence for character. The heavy slab presence helps maintain clarity at display sizes and in short blocks of emphasis, while the open apertures keep the texture from clogging.
