A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are broad and generously proportioned, with rounded bowls and a slightly compressed interior spacing that creates a dense, ink-rich color. Curves show a subtly calligraphic stress, and terminals are firm and tapered rather than blunt. Numerals are sturdy and rhythmic, matching the strong contrast and italic momentum of the letters.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, magazine covers, and prominent pull quotes where its contrast and italic slant can do the work. It can also support branding and packaging that wants a classic serif voice with added impact and motion, especially in short lines and titling.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing traditional serif authority with energetic, forward motion. It feels headline-driven and attention-seeking, with a slightly vintage editorial flavor that can also read as sporty or promotional depending on context.
Likely intended as a high-impact italic serif for attention-focused typography, pairing traditional serif construction with amplified weight and contrast to create a confident, energetic display voice.
Capitals appear stable and formal while the lowercase introduces more movement and softness, producing a distinctive, animated texture in text. The combination of wide proportions and strong contrast makes it most comfortable at larger sizes where the internal shapes can breathe.
