A sturdy italic slab serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and a compact, workmanlike texture. Strokes stay largely even with minimal contrast, while rounded joins and soft transitions keep the bold shapes from feeling brittle. The italic slant is moderate and consistent, and the set shows wide-to-narrow letter proportions that create a lively rhythm in text. Counters are relatively tight and terminals are firmly finished, giving the face a dense, emphatic presence at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium editorial settings where a bold italic needs to carry emphasis. Its dense texture and firm serifs also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a classic, authoritative slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a familiar editorial and collegiate flavor. Its bold, planted serifs suggest reliability and authority, while the italic angle adds energy and forward motion without becoming flamboyant.
Designed to deliver a dependable, plainspoken slab-serif italic that reads clearly and emphatically. The goal appears to be a versatile display companion for strong emphasis—traditional in structure, energetic in slant, and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
In the sample text the spacing and word color read steady and cohesive, with strong emphasis on capitals and robust punctuation-like forms. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ weight and italic stance for consistent typographic color across mixed content.
