A bold italic serif with distinctly flared terminals and softly bracketed stroke endings that give the outlines a chiseled, carved feel. Curves are full and smooth, counters are open, and the overall rhythm leans forward with energetic diagonals and a noticeable slant. Stems taper subtly into the endings rather than stopping bluntly, and the joins are rounded enough to keep the texture cohesive at larger sizes. Figures are weighty and compact, with the “0” reading as an oval ring and the “9” showing a pronounced descending tail.
This font performs especially well in headlines, deck lines, pull quotes, and poster-style typography where its flared endings and italic energy are clearly visible. It also fits branding and packaging that aim for a premium, heritage-leaning voice with a modern push, and it can work for short subheads where a confident, compact texture is desirable.
The tone is assertive and editorial, combining classical serif cues with a punchy, forward-leaning momentum. It feels confident and slightly theatrical, suited to messaging that wants to sound established but not conservative.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif with carved, flaring terminals—bridging traditional editorial authority with a more athletic, attention-grabbing stance for display use.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and emphatic, while the lowercase adds a more calligraphic swing through angled strokes and tapered exits. The overall color is dense and consistent, making the face best when you want strong presence and clear silhouette rather than delicate detail.
