A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and a compact, energetic silhouette. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with subtle swelling toward the ends and crisp, angular serifs that read as sharpened cuts rather than delicate hairlines. Curves are broad and taut, counters are moderately open, and joins often form pointed beaks that accent the slanted rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and assertive, with consistent spacing and a forward-driving texture in continuous text.
Best suited for display roles where strong personality and emphasis are needed: headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and branding moments. It can work for short editorial decks or pull quotes, especially where a classic-but-energetic serif is desired, but the dense texture makes it less ideal for long body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and punchy while still rooted in traditional serif cues. It suggests headline authority with a slightly retro, collegiate edge, combining seriousness with motion and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic voice with traditional serif structure, using flared terminals and sturdy proportions to create impact without relying on high contrast. It aims to balance classic credibility with a dynamic, headline-ready presence.
The italic construction is strongly integrated rather than a simple slant, with many glyphs showing directional terminals and angled entry/exit strokes that reinforce the forward rhythm. The flared endings give large sizes a chiseled, engraved feel, while at smaller sizes the weight and compact proportions keep the color dense and attention-grabbing.
