A bold, wide serif with pronounced contrast and a consistent rightward shear that gives the forms a brisk, italicized momentum. Strokes show vertical stress with very thick main stems and comparatively fine connecting strokes, producing sharp light/dark rhythm at display sizes. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like with minimal bracketing, and many curves finish in rounded, ball-like terminals. Counters and apertures tend to be tight, and the overall color is dense, with compact interior spaces and sturdy, poster-ready silhouettes.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, magazine cover lines, and bold branding where its contrast and width can read clearly. It also works well for packaging and editorial display typography, especially when used sparingly as an accent or title face.
The face reads as dramatic and assertive, mixing classic high-contrast manners with a punchy, contemporary display energy. Its slanted stance and heavy black shapes feel theatrical and attention-grabbing, suggesting headline emphasis rather than quiet text setting.
Likely designed as a high-impact display serif that combines classic high-contrast construction with a dynamic slant and emphatic weight, prioritizing striking silhouettes and strong typographic presence in short-form settings.
Across the alphabet and numerals, the design favors broad proportions and strong horizontals, creating a stable baseline while the shear adds motion. The sample text shows a heavy typographic “wall” effect with tight internal spacing, so it performs best when given enough tracking and line spacing to breathe.
