A sturdy italic serif with compact proportions and a forward-leaning, energetic rhythm. Strokes are thick and fairly even with moderate modulation, and the serifs are small, bracketed, and slightly wedge-like, giving terminals a crisp, carved finish. Curves are kept tight and controlled (notably in bowls and counters), while diagonals and joins feel angular and purposeful. The overall color is dark and assertive, with letterforms that stay legible while emphasizing momentum and stance.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a strong italic voice is needed, such as magazines, newspapers, and campaign-style layouts. It can also support bold brand statements in posters and packaging when set with ample spacing, and works best where the dense color can be used as a deliberate emphasis rather than continuous body text.
The tone reads traditional and editorial, but with a punchy, athletic slant that adds urgency. It feels authoritative and slightly retro, suggesting headlines, opinion pages, and classic print styling rather than delicate or ornamental use.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an assertive italic emphasis—prioritizing impact, readability at display sizes, and a confident typographic voice for editorial and promotional contexts.
Uppercase forms maintain a disciplined, conventional structure while the italic angle and sharp finishing details add character. Numerals appear solid and straightforward, matching the text weight and maintaining the same compact, high-contrast presence in running settings.
