A slanted serif with sturdy, dark strokes and a lively, calligraphic construction. Stems broaden into flared, wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs, giving the outlines a chiseled, slightly tapered feel rather than purely uniform slabs. Curves are full and smooth, counters are compact, and the joins show a pen-informed rhythm with pronounced entry/exit strokes. Proportions feel moderately wide in rounds and more condensed in some straights, creating an energetic, uneven texture that stays cohesive across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where its strong texture and slanted rhythm can work at comfortable sizes. It can add personality to magazine layouts, book jackets, branding, and promotional graphics, and it performs especially well when a traditional serif needs extra drive and emphasis.
The font reads as confident and energetic, combining traditional serif cues with a forward-leaning, athletic motion. It carries an editorial gravitas while still feeling punchy and expressive, suited to messaging that wants classic authority with momentum.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic italic serif voice by amplifying flared terminals and maintaining a dense, confident color. It aims for immediate impact and recognizable editorial tone while retaining legibility through stable proportions and clear, bracketed detailing.
Uppercase forms present strong silhouettes with crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows more handwritten influence in its stroke modulation and angled stress. Numerals are robust and high-impact, matching the weight and slant for consistent color in display settings.
