A robust, right-leaning serif with broad proportions, medium contrast, and strongly bracketed, flared terminals that read as wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a subtle calligraphic modulation, with rounded joins and energetic curves, while the italic construction keeps counters open and forms compact despite the generous width. The lowercase features a single-storey a and g, a pronounced descending tail on y, and a lively, looped italic rhythm that carries consistently into figures and punctuation.
Best suited to display settings where the slanted, high-impact forms can lead: headlines, subheads, posters, and attention-grabbing pull quotes. It can also serve branding and packaging that want a traditional serif foundation with extra urgency and motion, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels confident and energetic, with a classic, slightly retro flavor. Its bold, slanted presence and flared detailing create a sense of motion and emphasis, lending an assertive, headline-forward character that still nods to traditional serif typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, animated serif voice—combining classic bracketed/flared endings with an italic stance to increase momentum and emphasis. Its wide set and sturdy curves suggest a focus on standout readability and strong typographic color in display composition.
The design favors strong silhouettes and tight, punchy spacing in text samples, with distinctive entry/exit strokes and visible bracketing that helps prevent the weight from feeling blunt. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the italic cadence rather than appearing upright or detached.
