This is an italic slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms lean noticeably to the right, with crisp, largely unbracketed slab attachments and flattened terminals that keep the texture firm and even. Curves are controlled and slightly condensed in feel, while the overall rhythm reads as steady and punchy rather than delicate. Figures are straightforward and workmanlike, matching the font’s broad, solid serif treatment.
It performs best where an italic slab can provide strong emphasis: headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short blocks of display text. The sturdy serifs and stable rhythm also suit branding, packaging, and poster work where a confident, vintage-leaning italic voice is desired.
The font conveys an editorial, slightly retro tone—assertive and practical with a hint of academic formality. Its strong slabs and italic slant give it a confident, energetic voice that feels suited to emphasis and headline-style reading without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to combine the emphasis of an italic with the structural solidity of slab serifs, producing a display-friendly texture that stays legible and impactful. Its square serifs and restrained contrast suggest a focus on robust reproduction and a consistent, authoritative typographic color.
The italic construction relies on clear, mechanical-looking slabs and consistent stroke endings, creating a bold silhouette at larger sizes. The overall color stays even across mixed-case settings, with a no-nonsense texture that favors clarity over calligraphic nuance.
