A compact, strongly slanted serif with heavy, rounded strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a sheared, forward-leaning construction with tapered terminals and soft corners that keep the dense weight from feeling rigid. Counters are relatively tight, apertures are modest, and the overall rhythm is punchy and tightly spaced in impression. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly squared in silhouette, while the lowercase follows with robust bowls and short, energetic joins that maintain a consistent, condensed texture.
This face is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks where a condensed, energetic texture helps maximize presence in limited space. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when you want a traditional serif voice with added motion and emphasis.
The tone reads bold and kinetic, with a classic, poster-like feel. Its forward slant and dense color suggest speed and emphasis, giving it a slightly retro, headline-driven personality that still feels familiar and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar serif structure in a more forceful, forward-leaning form, emphasizing density and impact while preserving conventional letter skeletons for legibility.
Numerals are similarly compact and slanted, with rounded shapes and clear differentiation that matches the text forms. The italics are expressive rather than calligraphic, leaning more toward a constructed, display-minded slant than a flowing script.
