A condensed serif with a consistent rightward slant and sturdy, low‑contrast strokes. The serif treatment is flared and softly bracketed, with wedge-like terminals that broaden into the ends of stems and arms, giving the outlines a carved, brush-to-engraved feel. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, while the x-height sits relatively high against shortened ascenders/descenders for a dense, punchy texture. Capitals are upright in structure but share the same dynamic slant and tapering terminals, producing a rhythmic, forward-leaning silhouette across words and lines.
Best suited to headlines and prominent typographic moments where its condensed, flared forms can add impact and momentum. It works well for magazine and editorial titles, posters, and branding that wants a bold, energetic voice, and can also be effective on packaging or labels where space is limited but presence is needed.
The overall tone feels energetic and emphatic, combining an editorial sharpness with a slightly retro, display-oriented character. Its slanted, flaring terminals add motion and a hint of showmanship, reading as confident and attention-seeking without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver strong display readability in a compact width while injecting motion through an italic stance and flared, wedge-like terminals. It balances traditional serif structure with a more dynamic, contemporary rhythm for attention-driven typography.
The numerals and capitals share the same tapered, wedge-ended logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive. The compact spacing impression and tight internal shapes make it feel strongest when given enough size or leading to breathe, especially in dense text blocks.
