A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and a compact, rhythmic structure. Strokes stay relatively even, with only modest modulation, creating a solid, print-like texture. Serifs read as broad and supportive rather than delicate, and many joins show subtle shaping that keeps counters open and legible. The forms are slightly condensed in feel but set with generous presence, producing a bold, assertive silhouette in both text and display sizes.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine standfirsts, pull quotes, and poster typography where an italic voice needs weight and authority. It can also work in branding and packaging for products that want a traditional yet energetic tone, and for signage or labels where sturdy slab serifs help maintain clarity at a distance.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly collegiate energy. Its italic stance and strong slabs give it a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel persuasive and headline-ready without turning ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a forceful italic companion to a slab-serif family, balancing readability with emphasis. The intent appears to be a practical, print-friendly italic that carries strong typographic color while retaining familiar, classical letterform cues.
The numerals and capitals appear particularly robust, with clear, squared terminals that reinforce a structured, authoritative voice. In longer text, the combination of slant and heavy serifs produces a dark, cohesive color that reads best with comfortable line spacing.
