A forward-leaning serif with compact proportions, energetic rhythm, and strongly angled terminals. Strokes are mostly even in thickness with subtle flare and taper into sharp, bracketed serif-like endings, giving the letterforms a chiseled, engraved feel. Counters are moderately open for the width, while joins and curves stay tight and springy, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words. Numerals and capitals carry the same slanted, wedge-terminal logic, keeping the design cohesive across the set.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a compact, emphatic serif can add speed and character. It is a strong option for editorial display, branding marks, packaging titles, and promotional graphics where a classic-but-driven tone is desired.
The overall tone is brisk and confident, blending classical serif cues with a more athletic, headline-ready slant. It reads as traditional but not quiet—suited to messaging that wants momentum, emphasis, and a slightly vintage editorial flavor.
Likely intended as a compact, high-impact italic serif that keeps traditional structure while adding punch through angled, flared terminals and a tight, rhythmic word shape. The design emphasizes momentum and presence, aiming to stay legible while delivering a distinctive, sharpened personality.
The slant and compact width concentrate black density, so spacing and line breaks will materially affect readability in longer settings. The distinctive wedge terminals and tapered stroke endings remain prominent even at larger sizes, where the design’s sharpness becomes a key stylistic feature.
