A slanted serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharp wedge-like terminals that read as lightly chiseled. Stems are robust while connecting strokes and inner joins tighten into crisp, angular transitions, creating a lively contrast rhythm and a compact, punchy texture. Counters are relatively narrow and the spacing feels firm and deliberate, with a slightly condensed, headline-forward stance. Uppercase forms show squared-off curves and pointed corners, while the lowercase keeps the same angular logic, giving the whole set a consistent, cut-from-metal silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where its sharp terminals and energetic slant can be read clearly. It can also work well for packaging, label-style designs, logotypes, and sports or event branding that benefits from an assertive, vintage-inflected voice. For longer text, it will be more comfortable with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and old-world, mixing a classic print/engraving flavor with a competitive, badge-like energy. Its sharp terminals and forward slant give it momentum and urgency, making the voice feel commanding and a bit theatrical rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, high-impact italic serif with an engraved, wedge-terminal character—prioritizing strong silhouette, pace, and period flavor for display use over quiet neutrality.
The strong diagonals and spurs create distinctive word shapes at larger sizes, while the busy interior detail and tight counters can build visual density in longer passages. Figures follow the same angular, spurred construction, helping numerals hold their own in titling contexts.
