A slanted serif with sturdy, tapered strokes and clearly flared terminals that read like wedge serifs. Curves are full and smooth, with moderate stroke modulation and a slightly calligraphic pull in the joins and diagonals. Capitals feel compact and assertive, while the lowercase shows energetic shapes and a lively rhythm, supported by strong ascenders and rounded bowls. Figures appear oldstyle-influenced in color and movement, matching the italic flow and reinforcing a continuous, forward-leaning texture in text.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine features, posters, and brand statements where an italic voice is desired as the primary style. It also works well for pull quotes, subheads, and packaging or identity applications that benefit from a bold, energetic serif texture.
The overall tone is brisk and emphatic, combining a traditional serif backbone with an athletic, modern momentum. It feels persuasive and high-impact, suited to messaging that wants to sound confident and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a strong italic that functions as a standalone display and text accent, using flared terminals and tapered strokes to create punch, motion, and a refined, classically rooted personality.
The flared endings and tapered strokes create a carved, inked impression that stays crisp at display sizes. Counters remain open enough to keep words readable, while the pronounced slant and strong diagonals add speed and intensity to headlines and short passages.
