A heavy, slanted slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and broadly rounded joins. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, ink-rich texture. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while terminals and serifs read as blocky and supportive rather than sharp. The italic construction is assertive and slightly condensed in feel, with a steady rhythm and compact spacing that holds together well in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where a strong typographic color is desirable. It can also serve branding and packaging needs that call for a bold, traditional slab presence with an energetic italic tone.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic editorial flavor. Its strong slabs and energetic slant lend a sporty, slightly retro voice that feels persuasive and attention-getting without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, dependable slab italic that prioritizes impact and readability. Its reinforced serifs and low-modulation strokes suggest an aim for a strong page color and clear letterforms in display-led typography.
Uppercase forms are wide and stable with prominent slab feet, while lowercase shapes stay compact and punchy. Numerals are sturdy and highly present on the page, matching the letterforms’ weight and stance for consistent emphasis in mixed settings.
