A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, squared serifs and mostly blunt, flat-ended terminals. Strokes are low-contrast with a firm, even rhythm, and counters stay fairly open for a slab style. The italic is built with true drawn forms rather than simple obliquing, showing controlled curves (notably in C, S, and the bowls) paired with straight, braced stems and strong horizontal slabs. Numerals and capitals read solid and upright in construction despite the overall rightward slant, giving the face a stable, workmanlike texture in text.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a firm, authoritative italic is desired. It also works for posters and branding that benefit from a classic slab-serif presence with added dynamism from the slant.
The tone is assertive and pragmatic with a classic editorial feel. Its slab structure adds authority and a slightly industrial sturdiness, while the italic angle introduces motion and emphasis without becoming flamboyant. Overall it suggests dependable, traditional communication—more newsroom and publishing than boutique display.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic slab-serif that feels robust and readable, combining confident slabs with restrained contrast for a clear, editorial-forward voice.
The italics maintain clear letter separation and consistent serif treatment across cases, helping paragraphs keep a steady baseline rhythm. Round letters have a slightly squared, engineered finish at joins and terminals, reinforcing the sturdy voice.
