This is an oblique slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and rounded terminals that keep the letterforms soft rather than sharp. Strokes are broadly consistent with gentle modulation, and the overall texture is even and readable in paragraph settings. The design shows a slightly informal, typewriter-adjacent rhythm: compact joins, generous curves on bowls, and a steady baseline presence. Numerals are substantial and clear, with simple, utilitarian construction that matches the letterforms.
It works well for continuous reading in articles, essays, and reports where a sturdy serif texture is desired. The oblique style also suits pull quotes, captions, and subheads, and it can handle short display lines that need emphasis while remaining legible.
The font conveys a workmanlike, editorial tone—confident and grounded, with a mild retro flavor. Its oblique stance adds motion and emphasis without becoming flashy, making it feel both practical and slightly expressive.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, readable slab-serif italic for everyday typography—balancing durability and clarity with a subtle vintage, typewriter-like character for editorial and document use.
The italicized construction maintains clear counters and open apertures, which helps keep long lines from clumping. Serifs remain consistent across caps and lowercase, contributing to a cohesive, dependable color in text.
