A brisk italic slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a compact, print-forward rhythm. Strokes are low-contrast with firm verticals and slightly tapered joins, giving letters a stable, carved-in look without feeling heavy. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, with lively entry/exit strokes and gently rounded interior curves that keep counters open. Overall proportions feel generous and readable, with a slightly mechanical crispness at terminals balanced by subtle softening in bowls and shoulders.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where an italic voice needs to carry structure and impact. It can also work effectively in magazine layouts, posters, and packaging where a retro-editorial tone is desired and letterforms need to remain crisp at display sizes.
The tone is confident and editorial, combining a traditional bookish voice with a punchy, vintage-leaning energy. It reads as assertive and practical rather than delicate, making italics feel emphatic and headline-ready while still maintaining a classic typographic sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, readable italic with slab-serif authority—combining traditional editorial credibility with a more energetic, attention-grabbing posture for display use.
The uppercase shows strong, anchored serifs and clear silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and straightforward construction. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the same squared slab logic and maintaining a consistent slanted stance alongside the letters.
