A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced forward slant and lively, calligraphic stress. Thick, tapered main strokes transition into sharp, wedge-like serif endings and flared terminals, creating a crisp, sculpted silhouette. The letterforms feel compact and sturdy with tight internal apertures, strong diagonals, and punchy curves; round characters (O, Q, 0) show a dynamic thick–thin modulation. Numerals match the same energetic rhythm, with angled joins and decisive terminals that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated—headlines, editorial titles, cover lines, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of copy such as pull quotes or packaging callouts, where a dramatic, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and emphatic, combining a traditional serif foundation with a fast, sporty momentum. Its sharp terminals and slanted stance give it a sense of urgency and theatrical flair, while the consistent serif treatment keeps it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, attention-grabbing italic serif with a carved, flared finish—pairing classic letterform cues with heightened contrast and speed. Its strong rhythm and sharp terminals suggest a focus on impactful display use rather than quiet, text-first neutrality.
Uppercase forms appear slightly condensed and angular, emphasizing diagonals (N, V, W, X) and sharp entry/exit strokes. Lowercase shows a compact texture with distinct italic shapes (notably the single-storey a and g) and a strong rightward pull that reinforces motion in words and headlines.
