A robust italic slab serif with a pronounced rightward shear and sturdy, square-ended serifs that read as bold blocks at the terminals. Strokes are low-contrast and fairly even, with compact counters and a tight, efficient rhythm that keeps text dark and cohesive. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders, while uppercase forms are broad and stable, giving headings a strong footprint. Numerals match the italic slant and heavy slab treatment, maintaining consistent weight and spacing across the set.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where the slant can add momentum and the slab serifs can provide authority. It can work well in editorial layouts, branding systems, and packaging that benefits from a compact, high-impact italic voice. For extended reading, it will likely perform best at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing due to its dark color and tight counters.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining a pragmatic, workmanlike sturdiness with the forward motion of an italic. It feels at home in contexts that want impact without delicacy—more punchy and utilitarian than refined.
Designed to deliver a forceful italic companion with slab-serif authority—prioritizing stability, density, and clear silhouettes over finesse. The forms aim to balance speed and emphasis with a dependable, industrial strength suited to display-driven typography.
Serifs and terminals appear squared and hefty, contributing to strong word shapes and clear baseline anchoring. The italic is structural rather than calligraphic, with minimal modulation and an emphasis on firmness and legibility at larger sizes.
