A robust italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are thick and confident, with moderate contrast and rounded joins that keep counters open despite the weight. The letterforms lean on classical proportions, but the bold color and energetic curvature create a punchy texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same italic, sturdy construction and sit comfortably alongside the capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where an italic serif needs to carry weight and presence. It can also work for sports-leaning branding, event posters, and book or magazine covers that benefit from a classic yet assertive typographic color.
The overall tone feels forceful and established—traditional serif manners delivered with headline urgency. It reads as confident and slightly sporty, with an old-style, editorial gravitas that still feels lively in motion.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif structure with extra emphasis through weight and italic drive, offering strong readability at display sizes while projecting authority and momentum.
Capitals show crisp, sculpted terminals and clear serif footing, while the lowercase maintains a strong, continuous flow that reinforces the italic momentum. The texture in paragraphs is dense and dark, making it most effective where a firm typographic voice is desired.
