This typeface is a slanted slab-serif with sturdy, block-like serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. Serifs are broad and assertive, often with subtle bracketing into the stems, giving the letters a grounded, built-up feel rather than a delicate one. The forms are open and readable with rounded bowls counterbalanced by angular joins; curves are smooth but end in crisp, squared-off details. Spacing reads generous and the rhythm is energetic, with a noticeable forward lean that keeps lines moving while maintaining a solid, print-oriented structure.
It performs best in display and short text settings such as headlines, decks, magazine features, and book or report titling where the italic slant can add emphasis without losing structure. The heavy slabs and even color also suit posters, packaging, and branding systems that need a traditional backbone with a more dynamic, contemporary slant.
The overall tone feels authoritative and editorial—serious enough for traditional publishing, yet punchy and modern in its slant and bold serif presence. It carries a collegiate or vintage printing character, suggesting headlines, pull quotes, and branded copy that wants to feel established and confident without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to combine the dependable presence of a slab-serif with an italicized, forward-driving posture. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent texture, and clear readability while delivering a distinctive, assertive personality for prominent typographic moments.
Uppercase letters show strong, poster-like silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady texture in text. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the same slab-serif logic and maintaining legibility at display sizes.
