A wide, italic slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and largely square-ended terminals. Strokes stay fairly even, with a gentle diagonal stress and softly rounded joins that keep the texture smooth in text. Capitals are broad and stable, while the lowercase shows lively, slightly calligraphic movement and clear, open counters. Numerals are wide and readable, matching the strong serif rhythm and steady spacing.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand messaging where an italic voice is needed without becoming delicate. It can also work for posters and signage-style display sizes, offering strong presence and clear letterforms with a classic slab-serif character.
The overall tone feels editorial and established, like classic print typography with a sporty, forward-leaning energy. Its broad stance and firm serifs convey confidence and authority, while the italic angle adds momentum and expressiveness.
The design appears intended to blend traditional slab-serif sturdiness with an energetic italic stance, providing a confident emphasis style for display and editorial settings. Its wide proportions and robust serifs aim for clarity and impact while preserving a refined, print-forward texture.
The design maintains a consistent serif language across cases, with a noticeable italic slant that reads as an oblique serif rather than a cursive script. The italic rhythm produces a strong horizontal flow in paragraphs, and the wide proportions give the text an open, uncramped feel.
