A bold, right-leaning serif with strong contrast between thick main strokes and sharply thinned joins. Serifs read as wedge-like and subtly flared, with bracketed transitions that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a rigid, mechanical one. The rhythm is energetic: rounded forms show angled stress, counters are compact, and terminals often finish with crisp, triangular cuts. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase is more fluid and cursive-leaning, with a modest x-height and pronounced ascender/descender presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine features, book-jacket titling, and other editorial applications where a forceful italic voice is desired. It can also work for branding and campaign-style typography when you want a classic serif impression with extra energy and presence.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, combining traditional bookish cues with a punchy, poster-ready presence. Its slanted stance and sharp finishing details add motion and intensity, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif for display and editorial emphasis, pairing traditional wedge/bracketed serif structure with crisp, tapered detailing to create a dramatic, fast-moving texture on the page.
Figures are heavy and characterful, with noticeable contrast and tapered joins that keep them from feeling blocky at display sizes. The italics’ forward momentum is consistent across letters and numerals, supporting strong word-shape and emphasis in longer lines.
