A slanted slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a low-contrast, fairly monoline construction. The letterforms are compact and tall, with a rhythmic, slightly uneven texture that feels inked rather than mechanical. Terminals tend to be blunt and weighty, counters are moderate, and the overall fit is tight, giving paragraphs a dense, cohesive color. Numerals and lowercase show a modest, workmanlike detailing with occasional quirky joints and subtle stroke kinks that reinforce a printed, utilitarian character.
Well suited to editorial typography where you want an assertive, old-style printed voice—magazine headings, pull quotes, short articles, and book-cover titling. It can also work for posters and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-utility feel, especially when set with generous leading to offset its dense texture.
The font reads as vintage and literary, with a pragmatic, typewriter-adjacent tone that still feels personable. Its slant and chunky slabs add momentum and warmth, suggesting editorial voice, notes, and printed ephemera rather than sleek corporate polish.
The design appears intended to merge the practicality of slab serifs with the energy of an italic stance, producing a compact, durable face that evokes printed matter and typewriter-era signage. The goal seems to be a readable, characterful workhorse for expressive text and headlines without relying on high contrast or delicate details.
In longer text the tight spacing and dark serifs create strong horizontal motion and a consistent line texture. The slant is noticeable without becoming script-like, and the blunt serif geometry keeps the design grounded and legible at display-to-text sizes where a rugged, printed feel is desired.
