A heavy, forward-leaning serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden as strokes approach their ends. The forms are broad and generously proportioned, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep counters open even at this weight. Stroke modulation is subtle, leaning toward sturdy, uniform thickness with gentle thickening into terminals rather than sharp contrast. The italic construction is evident throughout, with lively diagonals and a compact, energetic rhythm in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to display sizes where its flared terminals and italic drive can be appreciated: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and energetic campaign work. It can also perform well for short subheads, pull quotes, and packaging callouts where a bold, confident voice is desired.
The overall tone reads forceful and energetic, combining a traditional serif foundation with a contemporary, athletic slant. Its flared endings add a touch of retro signage and editorial flair, while the weight and forward motion project confidence and urgency. The result feels attention-grabbing without becoming ornamental.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a strong italic stance, using flared serif shaping to add character and tradition while keeping the overall build broad, sturdy, and highly legible at display scale.
Capitals are wide and stable, with emphatic diagonals in letters like A, V, W, X, and Z that reinforce the italic momentum. Lowercase shows robust bowls and counters (a, e, o) and a distinctive, sturdy italic presence in letters like k, v, w, and y; numerals are similarly bold and oblique with clear silhouettes.
