A slanted slab serif with sturdy, rectangular, unbracketed serifs and a relatively even stroke color. The letterforms show mildly tapered joins and crisp terminals, giving a firm, mechanical structure while keeping counters open and readable. Proportions feel moderately compact with straightforward, no-nonsense shapes; curves are smooth but not delicate, and the overall rhythm stays steady across caps, lowercase, and figures. Numerals and capitals read strongly at display sizes, with the italic angle providing forward motion without resorting to calligraphic contrast.
Works well for editorial headlines, magazine typography, posters, and branding that wants a strong, slightly retro voice. The sturdy slabs and steady stroke weight help it hold up in short text runs such as subheads, pull quotes, and packaging copy where emphasis and clarity are both needed.
The tone is confident and editorial, combining a vintage print feel with a pragmatic, utilitarian edge. Its italic stance adds urgency and emphasis, making it feel suited to headlines and pull quotes while still retaining a bookish seriousness.
Likely designed to deliver an emphatic italic slab serif for attention-grabbing typography, pairing robust, square serifs with a clean, consistent texture for reliable readability and a classic print-forward personality.
The slab serifs are consistently square and prominent, creating clear baselines and pronounced horizontals. The italic is more of an oblique construction than a flowing script-like italic, so it maintains a structured, typographic character in text settings.
