A compact, right-leaning serif with strongly tapered strokes that swell through the stems and finish in sharp, flared terminals. The forms are narrow and energetic, with a pronounced diagonal stress that gives both capitals and lowercase a carved, chiseled look. Counters stay relatively tight, curves are firm rather than soft, and joins are clean and brisk, producing a crisp rhythm even at display sizes. Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered construction with sturdy silhouettes and decisive endings.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, posters, and promotional copy where its narrow footprint and sharp flares can add impact. It can also serve branding and packaging that want a classic-but-punchy voice, especially where space is limited and a dynamic italic presence is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, combining a traditional serif voice with a poster-like urgency. It reads as sporty and dramatic, with an editorial sharpness that suggests headlines, promotions, and statement typography rather than quiet body text.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed, high-impact serif voice with built-in motion and a distinctive flared terminal signature. The emphasis appears to be on creating strong word shapes and a dramatic texture that stands out in short, attention-grabbing settings.
The italic angle is integral to the design (not merely an oblique), and the flared, wedge-like endings create a distinctive texture across words. The compact width and strong diagonals emphasize momentum, while the consistent tapering keeps the color even and controlled in short blocks of text.
