A slanted, high-contrast serif with assertive, flared stroke endings and sharp wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a pronounced diagonal stress, with thick main strokes and very fine hairlines that taper quickly into pointed serifs. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and curves are crisp and slightly angular, giving the design a brisk rhythm. The uppercase feels expansive and declarative, and the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with lively ascenders and compact, energetic bowls.
Best suited to headlines, editorial display, and brand-driven typography where contrast and slant can do expressive work. It can perform well for magazine titles, promotional posters, packaging, and short pull quotes, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is theatrical and headline-forward, combining classic print sophistication with a touch of swagger. It reads as authoritative and stylish, with a motion-filled italic stance that adds urgency and emphasis. The sharp terminals and bold contrast contribute a slightly dramatic, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended as a bold, expressive italic display serif that leverages flared endings and sharp contrast to create a confident, attention-grabbing texture. Its forms prioritize personality and motion over neutrality, aiming to deliver a classic-yet-theatrical voice for prominent typography.
Many glyphs feature subtly calligraphic shaping—especially in curved letters and diagonals—resulting in a dynamic texture at larger sizes. Numerals match the italic energy and contrast, making them suitable for display settings where a strong typographic voice is desired.
