A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and a compact, even rhythm. Strokes are relatively even in thickness, with gentle modulation and crisp, squared-off terminals that keep the forms firm and punchy. The italic is built as an oblique with consistent slant across caps and lowercase, maintaining stable proportions and straightforward construction. Lowercase shapes read clearly with a moderate x-height and open counters, while the numerals are bold and legible with simple, athletic curves and flat footing.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic is used prominently—magazine features, opinion pages, and pull quotes—thanks to its strong texture and clear letterforms. It can also work for short headlines, packaging copy, and brand systems that want an italic voice with solidity and a traditional backbone.
The overall tone feels assertive and workmanlike, combining a classic newspaper-italic flavor with a slightly sporty, no-nonsense presence. It communicates confidence and clarity rather than delicacy, making the italic feel like an emphasis tool that still carries weight and authority.
Likely designed to provide a robust italic companion with the firmness of slab serifs, prioritizing clear emphasis and a steady text color over calligraphic delicacy. The construction aims for dependable readability while delivering a distinctive, confident slanted presence.
Spacing appears relatively generous for an italic slab, helping the angled forms avoid clumping in text. The slabs and flat-ended details give the face a grounded baseline and a consistent, engineered texture that stays readable at paragraph sizes.
