A sturdy italic slab-serif with compact proportions and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are broad and squared-off with slight bracketing, giving the outlines a grounded, print-like feel even in the slanted posture. Curves are full and controlled, joins are clean, and terminals tend to end decisively rather than tapering, producing an even, steady rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic needs to carry emphasis without losing structure—magazine features, book intros, pull quotes, and short-to-medium headlines. It can also work in branded typography that wants a classic, print-forward tone with a firm typographic backbone.
The overall tone reads editorial and traditional, with a pragmatic seriousness that recalls book typography and classic publishing. Its italic angle adds motion and emphasis while the slab structure keeps the voice steady and authoritative rather than delicate.
Designed to deliver a dependable italic with pronounced slab serifs—combining the energetic slant of an italic with the stability and presence of a slab-serif construction for strong emphasis and clear text color.
Uppercase forms feel robust and declarative, while the lowercase maintains clear, readable shapes with a slightly compact footprint. Numerals match the same italic, slabbed construction, giving mixed text a consistent texture.
