A compact, right-leaning serif with sturdy, slightly tapered stems that swell into flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, giving strokes a carved, chiseled finish rather than a delicate hairline feel. Curves are tight and muscular, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with a strong forward slant and punchy joins in letters like n, m, and h. Figures follow the same assertive, flared construction, with sturdy diagonals and prominent terminals that keep them visually aligned with the letterforms.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and packaging where its strong texture and forward slant can work as a voice element. It can also support editorial applications in short bursts—deck lines, intros, or section headers—where a compact, high-impact italic serif is desired.
The tone is bold and emphatic with a traditional, print-forward character. Its italic movement and flared endings add a sense of speed and urgency, while the serif structure keeps it grounded in a classic, editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif construction with a more forceful, contemporary energy. By emphasizing flared terminals and a strong italic stance, it aims to deliver a condensed, high-impact look that holds up well in attention-grabbing typographic roles.
In text settings the dense color and tight interior spaces create a strong typographic voice, especially in headlines. The design’s angular terminals and pronounced diagonals give it an athletic, poster-like impact, while still reading clearly as a serif.
