A compact, right-leaning serif with pronounced flared strokes and wedge-like serif endings. The letterforms show sturdy, mostly uniform stroke weight with subtle tapering at terminals, giving a carved, slightly calligraphic edge without high contrast. Proportions are tight with relatively narrow capitals and a steady rhythm, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are full and round with crisp cut-ins. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure and a moderate x-height, with clearly italicized shapes such as the single-storey a and angled, tapered joins that reinforce forward motion.
Best suited to display settings where its compact width and strong serif flares can read with impact—headlines, posters, magazine covers, and branded titles. It can also work well for short bursts of text such as pull quotes, packaging callouts, and promotional copy where a dynamic, italic voice is desired.
The overall tone feels energetic and a bit vintage, combining a strong, poster-ready presence with an editorial, headline-driven sophistication. Its slanted stance and sharp wedge details add urgency and drama, suggesting speed, confidence, and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, fast-leaning display serif that stays sturdy and legible while adding character through flared endings and wedge serifs. It balances classic serif cues with a more kinetic, attention-grabbing italic construction for contemporary headline use.
The numerals are heavy and clear, matching the same flared, tapered logic as the letters, which helps maintain a cohesive color in mixed alphanumeric settings. The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, with diagonals and wedges doing most of the stylistic work rather than delicate hairlines.
