A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared terminals and soft, bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Forms are compact and sturdy with rounded counters, an active baseline rhythm, and subtly tapered stroke endings rather than blunt cuts. The italic construction is assertive: diagonals bite sharply, curves are full, and spacing feels intentionally tight for a dense, impactful color in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short paragraphs where a forceful italic voice is desirable, such as magazine features, sports/editorial branding, and punchy marketing copy. It can also work for packaging and identity systems that need a classic serif presence with extra motion and emphasis.
The overall tone is bold and emphatic with a traditional editorial undercurrent. Its angled stance and swelling terminals add motion and drama, reading as confident and slightly sporty while still grounded in classic serif conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold italic serif that feels both traditional and dynamic, combining flared, calligraphy-informed stroke endings with compact, high-impact shapes for strong typographic color.
Uppercase shapes show clear flaring at stroke ends and a strong diagonal energy in letters like A, K, V, W, and X. Lowercase has a single-storey a and g with rounded bowls and pronounced entry/exit strokes, reinforcing the calligraphic influence. Numerals are robust and high-contrast enough to stand out in display settings while maintaining the same flared, serifed logic.
