A heavy, right-leaning serif with compact proportions and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes are robust with moderately modulated contrast, and many joins and curves end in teardrop or ball-like terminals that soften the mass. Serifs read as wedge-like and often bracketed, with crisp, slightly angled finishing that adds snap to the silhouette. Counters are relatively tight, curves are full, and the overall texture is dense but energetic, with a slightly compressed, forward-driving stance across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where a bold italic serif can carry emphasis and personality. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic serif voice with extra motion, and it pairs well with calmer romans or neutral sans serifs for contrast.
The tone is confident and emphatic, combining traditional serif authority with a brisk, italic urgency. It feels editorial and headline-ready—polished enough for classic contexts, but with a punchy, almost sporty momentum that keeps it from feeling formal or static.
The design appears intended to deliver strong emphasis in a conventional serif framework—using a pronounced italic slant, weighty strokes, and distinctive terminals to create a compact, high-impact reading line. It prioritizes expressive presence and rhythm over quiet neutrality, making it an effective choice when text needs to project confidence and urgency.
The uppercase shows strong, sculpted shapes (notably in C/G/S) with pronounced terminal treatment, while the lowercase maintains a consistent slant and sturdy stems. Numerals match the weight and inclination, giving figures a solid, attention-grabbing presence in running text or display settings.
