This typeface is an italicized serif with flared, wedge-like stroke endings and a forward-leaning, energetic stance. Letterforms show moderate contrast with subtly tapered joins and gently bracketed terminals, creating a carved, calligraphic impression without becoming script-like. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while lowercase shapes are round and buoyant, with a single-storey a and g and a prominent, angled tail on q. Numerals are weighty and curving, with distinctive swash-like strokes on figures such as 2 and 9, and overall spacing that reads compact but controlled in text.
This font performs best in display roles where its bold italic rhythm and flared terminals can carry personality—headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks. It can also suit editorial titling and packaging where a classic serif voice is desired but with more motion and punch than a text-optimized roman.
The overall tone feels traditional yet forceful, combining old-style warmth with a confident, athletic momentum. Its italic rhythm suggests speed and emphasis, lending a spirited, promotional character while retaining enough refinement for upscale applications.
The design appears intended to blend a traditional serif foundation with an emphatic italic voice, using flared terminals and sculpted curves to create impact and motion. It aims to read as authoritative and stylish while remaining broadly legible in short-to-medium setting lengths.
Diagonal strokes (notably in K, V, W, X) are sharply cut and clean, reinforcing the font’s brisk movement. Counters remain open and legible at display sizes, and the serif flares often behave more like tapered brush exits than flat finishing strokes, which adds texture and personality to headlines.
