A slanted serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like, often bracketed serifs that give strokes a tapered, calligraphic feel. The construction mixes crisp, gently curved joins with broader, swelling strokes, producing a steady rhythm and a distinctly forward-leaning texture. Uppercase forms are relatively open and round (notably C, O, Q), while the lowercase shows lively modulation with a single-storey a and g, compact counters, and energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals are sturdy and slightly stylized, with strong diagonals and tapered ends that match the letterforms.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where its slanted energy and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for branding, packaging, and book or album covers that want a classic serif foundation with a more animated, contemporary edge.
The overall tone feels brisk and assertive, combining a traditional serif voice with a sporty, kinetic slant. It reads as expressive rather than neutral, adding momentum and a touch of flair that suggests headlines, storytelling, and branded messaging.
Likely designed to deliver an italic serif with strong presence and expressive terminals—retaining familiar serif structure while adding motion, emphasis, and a sculpted, flared finish for standout typography.
The italic angle and flared finishing strokes create a distinct texture at text sizes, with noticeable emphasis in diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and in the sharp, tapered terminals of f, t, and y. The Q’s sweeping tail and the bold, sculpted curves in S and g contribute to a more display-leaning personality even in running text.
