A sheared serif with pronounced, wedge-like bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the contours a sharpened, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp joins, and many terminals taper into pointed or chiseled forms rather than blunt cuts. The uppercase has broad, stable proportions with strong diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y), while the lowercase is compact and lively, with tightly curved bowls and energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same slanted, chiselled logic, balancing sturdy verticals with angled terminals for a cohesive texture in running text.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short-to-medium editorial blocks where a dense, animated texture is desirable. It can also work well for branding and packaging that needs a classic serif voice with extra motion and bite, especially in titles, pull quotes, and campaign graphics.
The overall tone is confident and kinetic, combining a traditional serif foundation with a more aggressive, sporty slant. It reads as purposeful and high-impact, with a slightly vintage, headline-driven flavor rather than quiet, bookish refinement.
The design appears intended to merge a familiar serif structure with calligraphic, flared detailing to create a forceful, fast-moving italic voice. Its sharpened terminals and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on impact and personality in display and editorial contexts rather than neutrality.
Texture is dark and punchy in paragraphs, with clear emphasis from the italic slant and the sharpness of the serifs. The forms feel designed to hold up at display sizes, where the flaring and bracketed details read as intentional character rather than noise.
