A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and finer joining strokes. The serifs read as sturdy slabs with subtly softened, slightly bracketed connections, giving corners a less mechanical feel while keeping terminals crisp. Uppercase forms are broad and weighty with compact internal counters, while lowercase shows more movement and calligraphic influence, with rounded joins and a lively rhythm across word shapes. Numerals follow the same bold, high-contrast construction, with strong vertical emphasis and generous, stable footing at the baseline.
Best suited to display sizes where its contrast, slab serifs, and italic drive can read clearly—such as headlines, magazine features, posters, and bold brand statements. It can also work for short pulls, deck text, and packaging copy where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, balancing a vintage print sensibility with a punchy, attention-grabbing presence. Its italic momentum and chunky slabs create an energetic, slightly rugged voice that feels at home in expressive editorial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight and contrast while retaining a traditional slab-serif backbone. The italicized, slightly calligraphic shaping suggests an aim toward expressive readability in display typography rather than understated text setting.
Across the set, the slanted stance and thick slabs create strong horizontal texture, while the tighter apertures and counters keep the color dense in paragraphs. The mix of sturdy uppercase and more animated lowercase adds personality without breaking stylistic consistency.
