A robust italic serif with a pronounced forward slant and energetic rhythm. Strokes are smoothly modulated with tapered, flared terminals and softly bracketed serif forms that feel carved rather than mechanically squared. Counters are generous and rounded, with compact joins and a slightly lively baseline that adds motion without becoming script-like. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, sculpted construction, emphasizing strong silhouettes and clear interior space.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where a bold italic voice is desirable. The sturdy construction and open counters support short-to-medium text in magazines or book jackets, while the distinctive terminals can add character to branding, packaging, and event/poster typography.
The tone is assertive and cultured, combining old-style warmth with a more contemporary, punchy presence. Its slanted posture and flared endings give it a sense of speed and emphasis, while the serif detailing keeps it grounded and bookish. Overall it reads as confident, editorial, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic italic serif for display-led typography, pairing traditional serif cues with flared, tapering stroke endings to create a vivid, high-impact texture. It aims to feel familiar and readable while still offering a distinctive, energetic silhouette.
Diagonal strokes (notably in K, V, W, X, and Z) are built with thick, stable forms and tapered ends, reinforcing the font’s energetic texture. Lowercase forms keep a readable, familiar structure while leaning into italic calligraphy through angled entry/exit strokes and rounded terminals. The overall color is dense and consistent, making the typeface feel strong at display sizes.
