A compact, right-leaning serif with sturdy, weighty strokes and subtly widening, flared terminals that read as softened serifs rather than blunt slabs. Forms are tightly set with narrow proportions and a strong forward slant, creating a fast, continuous rhythm. Curves are full and well-supported, while joins and inner counters stay relatively open for the weight. Stroke endings often show a carved, slightly tapered finish that gives the letters a chiseled, inked quality, and the numerals share the same robust, emphatic construction.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and momentum matter—magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and branding that wants a classic-but-punchy voice. It can also work for short bursts of copy (subheads, deck lines) where its tight width helps fit more text without losing presence.
The overall tone is bold and urgent, with a traditional, print-forward personality. It suggests speed and conviction—more headline and opinion than quiet body text—while still retaining a recognizable serif heritage.
This design appears intended to merge a traditional italic serif structure with more forceful, flared endings and dense proportions, producing a compact display face that stays legible while projecting energy and authority.
The italic construction is pronounced, with many letters showing wedge-like entry/exit strokes and subtly asymmetric curves that enhance motion. The heavier lowercase has a lively texture, and the punctuation and figures feel built to match the same editorial emphasis rather than disappearing into the page.
