A right-leaning serif with compact, sturdy forms and tapered terminals that broaden into wedge-like, flared endings. Strokes show a subtly calligraphic modulation, with crisp joins and bracketed serifs that create a tight, energetic rhythm. The capitals are wide-shouldered and compact in the bowls, while the lowercase stays sturdy and legible with a slightly heavy footprint and clear entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same slanted, punchy construction with firm curves and decisive terminals.
Best used for headlines, posters, short editorial decks, and brand marks where a strong, slanted serif voice is desired. It can also work for packaging and promotional material that benefits from a classic-but-energetic tone, especially at medium to large sizes where the flared terminals and tight rhythm read clearly.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, combining traditional serif cues with an athletic, forward-driving slant. It feels suited to bold statements and headline-driven typography, with a slightly nostalgic, print-centric character.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic serif for display contexts, balancing traditional serif structure with tapered, flared stroke endings to add momentum and presence. Its compact counters and firm terminals suggest an emphasis on impact and clarity rather than delicate refinement.
Diagonal stress and tapered stroke endings give the face a sense of motion, especially in curved letters like C, G, S, and in the angled diagonals of N, V, W, and X. Counters are relatively tight, contributing to a dense, impactful color in text, while the flared terminals help keep shapes distinct at display sizes.
