A strongly slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals that give strokes a tapered, energetic finish. The letterforms show compact, dense proportions with a steady rhythm and clear baseline drive, while curves are crisp and tightly drawn. Serifs are sharp and angled rather than blocky, and many joins and endings feel subtly calligraphic, reinforcing the forward motion. Figures are weighty and stylized to match the letters, with a consistent italic stress and punchy counters.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and dramatic slant can be appreciated—magazine headlines, feature pull-quotes, poster typography, and brand marks that need punch. It can also work for short subheads or packaging callouts where a bold, classic-leaning italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, balancing classic serif cues with a sporty, high-impact italic gesture. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a slightly vintage editorial flavor that still feels brisk and contemporary in motion.
The design appears intended to deliver an assertive italic serif for display typography, combining high contrast with flared terminals to create speed, emphasis, and a refined sense of craft. Its consistent slant and sculpted endings suggest a focus on impactful, stylish messaging rather than quiet text neutrality.
Pointed apexes and angled cut-ins create a distinctly chiseled silhouette, and the contrast makes highlights and hairlines flash in larger sizes. The set maintains a cohesive slant across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving paragraphs a strong directional flow.
