This typeface is a slanted slab serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and a compact, forward-leaning stance. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation and crisp joins that give the forms a firm, engineered rhythm. The slab serifs read as thick and supportive, often slightly bracketed into the stems, while counters are open and straightforward for clarity. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable, and the numerals are bold and legible with simple, utilitarian shapes.
It performs best in display settings where the slanted slabs can provide punch and momentum—headlines, pull quotes, covers, and poster typography. The sturdy construction also suits branding and packaging where a bold, dependable voice is needed and numerals must read clearly.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, blending a retro editorial feel with a practical, workmanlike edge. Its italic movement adds urgency and motion, while the heavy slabs keep it grounded and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic with the authority of a slab serif—combining motion and emphasis with durable, square-ended details for strong presence. It aims for clear readability at larger sizes while maintaining a distinctive, punchy texture.
In text, the texture is dense and steady, with consistent letterfit and a noticeable rightward drive from the slant. The ampersand is compact and bold, and the punctuation and figures visually match the strong serifed construction, making the set feel cohesive in headlines and short passages.
