A heavy, forward-leaning serif with a broad footprint and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The forms are built from large, rounded bowls and strong diagonals, with bracketed, slightly flared terminals that read as beaked or wedge-like in many letters. Curves are smooth and weighty, joins are tight, and counters are relatively compact, producing a dark, continuous texture. The italic construction is pronounced, with lively entry/exit strokes and energetic diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y and the lowercase a, v, w), while maintaining consistent, confident proportions across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where impact and texture matter—headlines, magazine openers, advertising, posters, and brand marks that need a confident, classic-leaning voice. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading to manage the dense typographic color.
The overall tone is bold and emphatic, combining a classic serif voice with a punchy, contemporary slant. It feels headline-forward and attention-seeking, with a slightly sporty, poster-like energy that still retains editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic italic serif for display use, pairing heavy strokes with flared, bracketed details to create strong word shapes and a distinctive, energetic rhythm.
The numerals share the same strong slant and dense color, with crisp wedge terminals that keep figures punchy at display sizes. Capitals appear robust and slightly condensed internally, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between similarly shaped forms.
