A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and energetic, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs. Curves are full and taut, with crisp joins and tapered terminals that create a sharp, inked feeling despite the mass of the strokes. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a lively rhythm; italics are emphasized by angled entry/exit strokes and sweeping bowls. Numerals match the italic momentum, with sculpted curves and tapered details that keep the texture animated in text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and punchy editorial callouts where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a forceful, stylized italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, balancing classic serif cues with a punchy, display-forward attitude. Its slanted stance and sharp flares suggest motion and emphasis, giving it a spirited, slightly retro voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif with classic cues and expressive, flared terminals, creating a distinctive silhouette and a sense of movement. It aims to combine traditional serif structure with a more performative, attention-seeking display character.
Diagonal strokes and terminals often finish in pointed, triangular wedges, which adds sparkle and a chiseled look at large sizes. In continuous text the strong contrast and pronounced slant create a distinctive pattern, prioritizing personality over neutrality.
