A robust italic serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a strongly forward-leaning stance. Strokes are relatively heavy and confident, with moderate contrast and crisp, angled terminals that keep forms sharp rather than rounded. The uppercase shows sturdy, compact silhouettes with clear serif articulation, while the lowercase adds a more calligraphic rhythm, including a single-storey a and g and energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals share the same slanted, weighty construction, with curving forms and firm finishing details that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where an assertive italic voice is desired. It also works well for branding and packaging that need a classic serif feel with extra momentum, and for pull quotes or emphasis in layouts where a standard roman would feel too restrained.
The overall tone is energetic and emphatic, combining traditional serif structure with a brisk, contemporary motion from the italic angle. It feels punchy and attention-seeking without becoming decorative, giving a confident, slightly sporty editorial character.
The font appears intended as a high-impact italic serif for display and emphasis, pairing traditional serif construction with bold, forward motion to deliver strong typographic presence in titles and highlighted text.
The design relies on pronounced diagonals and strong serif cues to maintain clarity under the slant; counters stay fairly open and spacing feels display-oriented, emphasizing impact over quiet neutrality.
