A slanted serif with a calligraphic, flared construction: strokes taper and swell into wedge-like terminals rather than finishing with flat cuts. The letterforms show a lively, forward rhythm with gently irregular stroke modulation and sharp, energetic joins. Bowls are compact and slightly squared-off in places, while counters remain open enough for display use. Numerals follow the same oblique, flared logic, with strong silhouettes and angled stress that keeps the set cohesive.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where its forward slant and flared terminals can read as intentional style. It can also work for short editorial callouts or packaging text when set with ample size and spacing, but its energetic details may feel busy in long body copy.
The overall tone is fast, punchy, and slightly vintage, evoking editorial headlines and athletic branding where momentum and presence matter. Its italic stance and pointed terminals add urgency and a confident, expressive voice without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to merge italic momentum with flared, wedge-like finishing to create a serif that reads bold and active. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and rhythmic stroke endings for attention-grabbing typography rather than neutral text texture.
Uppercase shapes lean toward broad, simplified structures with prominent, flaring ends, while lowercase forms feel more written and agile, creating a noticeable shift in texture between cases. The design’s strong diagonals and terminal flicks are the main character-defining features and will become more pronounced at larger sizes.
