A heavy, right-leaning serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a calligraphic, slightly chiseled feel: thick verticals and diagonals are paired with hairline connections and narrow interior counters, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. The serifs tend toward angled, triangular forms rather than flat slabs, and many joins are tapered, giving the outlines a carved, energetic silhouette. Proportions are compact and punchy, with sturdy capitals and lowercase shapes that keep counters tight and momentum forward.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where high contrast and a pronounced italic stance can carry a message. It also fits energetic themes—sports, entertainment, and promotional materials—especially when set large enough for the fine hairlines and sharp serifs to remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a vintage, poster-forward attitude. Its strong slant and sharp terminals create a sense of speed and emphasis, leaning toward expressive headlines rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine a traditional serif foundation with a more flamboyant, speed-driven italic construction, emphasizing punchy contrast and angular terminals for standout titles and impactful messaging.
The numerals and uppercase show a consistent wedge-terminal language, and curves are treated with tight apertures and pointed exits that reinforce the brisk, athletic cadence. Spacing appears tuned for impact at larger sizes, where the hairline transitions and crisp serifs read most clearly.
