A very heavy italic serif with pronounced wedge-like, bracketed serifs and sharply cut terminals. The letterforms show strong diagonal stress and high-contrast detailing, with thick main strokes and crisp, tapered joins that create a brisk, forward rhythm. Curves are compact and energetic, counters are relatively tight, and the overall spacing reads on the dense side, helping the face hold together as a dark, cohesive texture. The lowercase has a conventional, readable structure with a moderate x-height and a consistent rightward slant, while figures are sturdy and similarly sheared to match the text style.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a forceful, compact italic serif can carry strong typographic hierarchy. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a classic foundation with added speed and intensity, and for editorial layouts that benefit from a dark, high-impact emphasis style.
The overall tone is bold and urgent, combining traditional serif cues with a dynamic, almost headline-driven momentum. It feels confident and slightly dramatic, with a vintage editorial flavor that can also read as competitive or sporty due to the strong slant and dense color.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with amplified weight and a fast italic cadence, prioritizing impact and directional movement over quiet neutrality. Its sharp serifs and condensed internal space suggest a focus on strong presence in display and editorial contexts.
The italic angle is a major part of the personality, and the sharp, wedge-like serif treatment gives edges a crisp, chiseled look. At display sizes the contrast and cut-in details become more pronounced, while in longer settings the weight and tight rhythm create an emphatic, attention-grabbing voice.
