A dynamic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems and diagonals show tapered, flared endings that read like softened wedge serifs, giving the contours a carved, calligraphic feel. Bowls are full and compact while joins and terminals sharpen into crisp points, creating a lively rhythm and a forward-leaning texture. Overall spacing looks robust and headline-oriented, with numerals and capitals built for bold, high-contrast impact.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at display sizes where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and brand marks. It can also work for bold packaging or event graphics, especially when a classic-but-urgent voice is needed.
The tone is energetic and emphatic, mixing classic serif formality with a fast, sporty momentum. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast push it toward attention-grabbing, poster-like expression rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through a high-contrast italic silhouette, combining traditional serif cues with flared, tapered stroke endings to create motion and drama in display typography.
The italic construction feels integral rather than a simple slant, with notable stroke tapering on diagonals and pronounced terminal shaping on letters like J, S, and y. The figures echo the same flared, high-contrast logic, keeping a consistent voice across alphanumerics.
