A heavy, italic slab serif with broad, square-ended serifs and noticeably bracketed joins. Strokes are robust and mostly even in weight, with rounded transitions that keep counters open despite the density. The italic slant is consistent and lively, and the letterforms show a slightly calligraphic, inked feel—especially in curved joins and terminals—while retaining a solid, geometric backbone. Numerals and capitals read as compact and weighty, with strong horizontals and stable baseline behavior.
Best suited for display and strong typographic statements—headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where a dense, authoritative texture is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages or captions when set with adequate size and leading to accommodate its weight and italic emphasis.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a no-nonsense sturdiness with a warm, slightly nostalgic flavor. It feels energetic and personable rather than formal, projecting confidence without sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with built-in emphasis through italic construction, balancing workhorse clarity with a bold, vintage-leaning presence for impactful typography.
The rhythm is set by prominent slab serifs and generous internal spacing, which helps the face stay legible in text despite its heavy color. Curves and diagonals are softened, and the italic angle adds forward motion that suits expressive settings while remaining controlled enough for longer lines.
