A right-leaning slab serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined joins. The serifs read as sturdy slabs with subtle bracketing, paired with tapered entry/exit strokes that keep counters open and letterforms lively. Uppercase shapes are compact and disciplined, while the lowercase shows more movement—single-storey forms like a and g and a hooked f and j reinforce an italic rhythm. Numerals are slightly stylized and slanted to match the text color, with clear differentiation and firm footing on the baseline.
This font suits editorial applications where characterful italics and strong serifs help establish hierarchy—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover titling. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a classic print feel with a slightly typewriter-like edge.
The overall tone feels editorial and slightly nostalgic, mixing a typewriter-leaning sturdiness with a refined, print-centric elegance. Its slanted, high-contrast strokes give it a brisk, authored voice—confident and classic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic slab voice that reads as traditional and authoritative, while maintaining sharp contrast and a lively, handwritten-influenced rhythm for emphasis and personality in display use.
The texture in running text alternates between strong vertical anchors and thin connective strokes, producing a crisp, sparkling page color. Letter spacing appears comfortable for display and short passages, while the energetic italics and emphatic slabs make the forms especially distinctive in headlines and pull quotes.
