A bold italic serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and compact bracketed serifs that give strokes a chiseled, slightly calligraphic finish. The forms are wide-set with a steady forward slant, and the weight is carried by strong verticals and robust diagonals, producing a clear, energetic rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with smooth curve transitions in rounds like O and C and crisp joins in letters such as K, V, W, and X. Lowercase shows a tall x-height and sturdy, simple structures, keeping the texture dense but readable at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where an emphatic italic voice is needed, especially in magazines, opinion pieces, and other editorial settings. It also works effectively for posters and branding applications that benefit from a classic serif foundation with added momentum, including packaging and campaign-style messaging.
The overall tone is bold and authoritative, with an editorial, headline-forward presence. Its italic stance and flared endings add motion and a touch of traditional craftsmanship, balancing classic serif seriousness with contemporary punch.
Likely designed to deliver a forceful italic serif for display typography, combining sturdy proportions with flared stroke endings to create impact without losing a traditional, bookish credibility.
Numerals are heavy and upright in stance relative to the overall slant, with strong, stable silhouettes and clear differentiation. The design maintains consistent flare behavior across stems and terminals, helping long lines of text retain a cohesive, slightly sweeping texture.
