This typeface is a slanted serif with assertive, wedge-like terminals and gently flared stroke endings that give letters a carved, energetic silhouette. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation, with sharp joins and slightly angular curves that keep the rhythm crisp rather than soft. The serifs read as tapered and bracketed, often resolving into pointed, blade-like feet and beaks, while counters remain fairly open for the weight. Proportions feel compact in the lowercase with sturdy verticals and a lively, forward-leaning stance across both cases and numerals.
It performs best where its angled stance and sharp terminal work can be appreciated—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and poster typography. The strong silhouettes also suit branding applications that want a classic-but-charged voice, and it can be effective for sports or event graphics where motion and impact are desirable.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, combining a traditional serif foundation with a distinctly energetic, almost athletic slant. It conveys urgency and emphasis without becoming ornamental, making it feel suited to statements, headlines, and punchy editorial moments.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an italic serif through flared, wedge-shaped terminals and crisp modulation, creating a display-forward style that reads traditional at a glance but feels faster and more aggressive in texture. It prioritizes impact and character while maintaining consistent serif logic across the alphabet and figures.
Several letters show distinctive spur and tail gestures (notably in forms like Q, y, and z), adding a slightly swashy, personality-driven finish. The numerals share the same sharp terminal vocabulary, helping figures hold their own in display settings.
