A wide, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and prominent bracketed slabs. The letterforms show crisp, square-ended terminals and compact internal counters, giving a firm, grounded texture even in italic. Curves (C, O, S) are smoothly drawn but finish with decisive slab details, while diagonals (V, W, Y) stay broad and stable. Numerals are open and clear, with similarly solid feet and a consistent slanted rhythm across the set.
Well-suited for headlines and short editorial settings where an italic with strong structure is desirable. It can also support branding and packaging that want a vintage-leaning, authoritative slab-serif feel, and works nicely for pull quotes or display typography that needs impact without high-contrast delicacy.
The overall tone feels editorial and slightly retro—confident and practical rather than delicate. Its bold slab presence and italic motion create an assertive, energetic voice that still reads as traditional and bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic slab serif that remains bold and legible, pairing traditional serif cues with a broad, sturdy build. It aims for a strong page presence and a recognizable rhythm for display-forward use.
The slant is consistent and the spacing feels generous, which helps keep the texture from becoming too dense despite the heavy slab features. Uppercase forms have a classic, inscription-like sturdiness, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike warmth.
