An oblique slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and mostly low-contrast strokes. The letterforms lean consistently, with gently rounded joins and subtly bracketed slab terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than sharply mechanical. Counters are open and generously shaped, and the lowercase shows a lively, slightly calligraphic construction (single-storey forms and sweeping entry/exit strokes) that adds motion to the line. Figures are clear and straightforward, matching the same slanted, slabbed rhythm as the letters.
Works well for editorial headlines, subheads, and lead-in text where an italic voice is desired without losing weight and presence. It also suits book covers, posters, and branding that want a mix of classic slab authority and lively, contemporary motion.
The overall tone feels editorial and slightly retro, combining the solidity of slabs with an informal, italic energy. It reads confident and personable—more witty and narrative than strictly technical—suggesting a voice suited to storytelling and opinionated display.
Likely designed to offer an italicized slab-serif voice that stays sturdy and readable while adding personality and forward momentum. The mix of squared slabs and softened, more handwritten curves suggests an aim toward expressive text and display use with an editorial character.
Spacing and rhythm create a buoyant, forward-moving line, with noticeable stroke tapering at some terminals despite the generally even contrast. The oblique angle is prominent enough to read as italic in running text, while the slab details keep the color dense and anchored.
