A heavy, italic serif with tapered strokes that broaden into subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a forward-leaning, energetic rhythm with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and smoothly curved joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Curves and diagonals feel slightly sculpted rather than mechanical, and the overall drawing balances strong mass with controlled modulation for clear word shapes. Numerals follow the same robust, slanted construction, with generous curves and solid, stable silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong italic serif can carry the layout on its own. It also works well for magazine display, packaging, and short emphatic callouts where the forward motion and bold color add drama and immediacy.
The tone is bold and assertive, combining a traditional serif voice with a brisk, contemporary slant. It reads as confident and slightly sporty, with a headline-first presence that feels at home in punchy, personality-driven typography.
Likely intended as a display serif that merges classic, bracketed serif cues with a vigorous italic stance for high-impact messaging. The flared terminals and controlled contrast appear designed to maintain legibility while maximizing presence at larger sizes.
The italic is substantial enough to function as a primary voice rather than an accompanying style, with consistent flare and curvature giving it a cohesive, branded texture. At larger sizes the sculpted terminals and bracketed endings become a key part of its character.
