A slanted slab serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and a consistent, medium-contrast stroke rhythm. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward italic construction with subtly calligraphic joins, producing lively entry and exit strokes while keeping the main stems firm. Serifs read as bold and supportive rather than delicate, often with slight bracketing that softens the blocky structure. Lowercase shapes are compact with energetic curves and a slightly uneven, humanist cadence; overall spacing and proportions create a dynamic texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where an italic voice is needed without losing structural firmness. It can work effectively on book and magazine covers, posters, and branding accents where a sturdy slab serif texture and energetic slant help create emphasis. In longer settings it reads as a strong stylistic layer for highlights rather than a neutral text face.
The face balances authority with motion: it feels editorial and somewhat vintage, like a confident headline italic used to add emphasis. The slab structure gives it a sturdy, grounded tone, while the slant and curved detailing add warmth and personality. Overall it suggests classic print traditions with a punchy, attention-getting presence.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic with clear emphasis and strong footing—combining slab-serif solidity with a more human, calligraphic flow. It aims for a distinctive editorial tone: robust enough to anchor a layout, yet lively enough to stand out in display typography.
The numerals follow the same italic slant and slab footing, giving figures a cohesive, emphatic look in running text. Round letters maintain relatively tight apertures and compact counters, contributing to a darker, more ink-rich page color at display sizes.
