A robust italic serif with prominent bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are sturdy with moderate contrast, giving capitals a solid, carved presence while maintaining clear internal counters. The lowercase shows compact proportions and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic flow, with angled terminals and a noticeable rightward emphasis in joins and curves. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the letterforms with firm serifs and energetic diagonals.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where an emphatic italic serif is desired—magazine headings, pull quotes, sports/editorial branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic but energetic feel. In longer settings it will produce a dark, compact texture, making it especially effective when used with generous leading and thoughtful tracking.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with a sporty, headline-ready punch. Its italic energy adds urgency and motion, while the serif structure keeps it rooted in classic editorial and heritage cues. The dark color and tight apertures create a confident, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, traditional serif voice with pronounced italic momentum, balancing classic forms with a dense, attention-grabbing color for prominent typography.
The italic is relatively strong and uniform across the set, so texture in paragraphs reads dense and emphatic. Curved letters show slightly sharpened terminals and crisp junctions that keep the heavy weight from feeling soft, while the serifs help maintain word-shape clarity at larger sizes.
