A heavy, right-leaning italic with sturdy, compact forms and brisk diagonals. Strokes show a subtly sculpted, flared finishing behavior that reads like wedge or incised serifs rather than square slabs, giving the letters a carved, tapered edge. Curves are broad and confident, counters are moderately open for the weight, and joins stay firm, creating a punchy rhythm across uppercase and lowercase. Figures are bold and rounded with consistent slant and strong presence, keeping the texture dense and even in lines of text.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, brand marks, and packaging where a bold italic voice is desired. It can work for pull quotes or section headers when a strong, energetic emphasis is needed, especially at larger sizes where the flared details are more apparent.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a vintage, poster-like confidence. Its italic angle and flared detailing add a sense of motion and emphasis, suggesting enthusiasm and impact rather than quiet neutrality. The look feels sporty and promotional, suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The font appears designed to combine bold italic impact with serifed, flared terminals that add a crafted, slightly retro texture. The intention seems to be a high-energy display face that stays legible while conveying motion and confidence.
The design maintains a consistent slant across letters and numerals, and the bold weight produces a dark typographic color. The flared endings soften the mass slightly and add character at display sizes, while the compact spacing helps it read as a cohesive, emphatic block.
