A sturdy italic slab serif with heavy, block-like serifs and gently rounded transitions. Strokes are mostly even, with only slight modulation, and many terminals feel subtly notched or ink-trapped where strokes meet serifs, lending a practical, print-minded crispness. Uppercase forms are compact and weighty with broad shoulders and solid counters, while the lowercase keeps straightforward, single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and a clear, workmanlike rhythm. Figures are thick and stable, with simple geometry and strong horizontal emphasis that holds up at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and punchy editorial typography where a strong serif texture is desirable. It also fits branding and packaging that want a rugged, retro-leaning tone with high impact and clear letterforms, especially in short-to-medium text settings.
The overall tone is confident and pragmatic, with a lightly vintage, editorial flavor. Its italic slant adds energy without becoming calligraphic, keeping the voice direct, sturdy, and approachable—more newspaper and poster than formal book serif.
This design appears intended as a dependable italic slab for attention-forward typesetting—delivering strong presence, consistent texture, and clear silhouettes while maintaining a practical, print-oriented finish at joins and terminals.
Spacing and letterfit read tight-to-normal in the samples, contributing to a dense, emphatic texture. The slab serifs and angled stress create a consistent forward motion across lines, making the font feel punchy in headlines while staying controlled in longer phrases.
