A heavy, italic serif with a compact, high-ink silhouette and smoothly bracketed serifs that often flare from the stems. The stroke joins are rounded and the counters are relatively tight, creating dense typographic color and a sturdy rhythm. Italic construction is emphatic, with wedge-like entries, energetic curves, and a forward-leaning stance that stays controlled rather than calligraphic. Overall proportions feel traditional and readable, while the flared stroke endings and softened transitions add a subtly sculpted, engraved-like finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where strong presence is desired—such as magazine layouts, sports or lifestyle branding, packaging, and promotional materials. The dense color and assertive italic make it especially effective for emphasis, pull quotes, and display typography that needs classic credibility with extra drive.
The font projects a bold, assured voice with a classic, editorial flavor. Its strong slant and weight give it urgency and momentum, while the serif detailing keeps it grounded and authoritative. The result feels both traditional and punchy—suited to statements, headlines, and confident messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif voice in a forceful, italic display tone, combining sturdy readability with flared, sculpted details for extra character at larger sizes.
Numerals are robust and rounded, matching the letterforms’ dense color and softened joins. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping long lines of text maintain a cohesive forward motion.
