A slanted serif with energetic, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and diagonals show tapered transitions into flared, bracketed terminals, creating sharp wedge-like endings rather than blunt cuts. Counters are moderately open and the overall proportions run broad, with robust capitals and a steady, medium x-height; spacing feels slightly lively due to the italic rhythm. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same high-contrast, tapered logic, with crisp joins and pointed details that keep the texture animated at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short passages, and prominent typographic moments where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can add a confident, classic accent to branding and packaging, and works well for magazine-style editorial display where a lively, dramatic serif is desired.
The tone reads assertive and expressive, combining a traditional serif foundation with a theatrical, forward-leaning momentum. Its sharp flares and high contrast lend a dramatic, editorial feel—more performative than quiet—while still projecting a classic, formal voice.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif silhouette with a more expressive, calligraphic flare, using tapered terminals and strong contrast to create a distinctive display voice. Its broad proportions and energetic italic construction suggest an emphasis on impact, motion, and stylish emphasis in larger sizes.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the flared terminals act as a unifying motif throughout the alphabet and figures. The letterforms emphasize motion through angled strokes and pointed terminals, producing a strong word-shape and a textured, attention-grabbing typographic color.
