A forward-leaning serif with flared stroke endings and a compact, punchy silhouette. The letterforms show subtly calligraphic construction, with strokes that swell toward terminals and a crisp, tapered finishing throughout. Counters are relatively tight, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm feels brisk and slightly condensed in impression, especially in the capitals. Numerals and lowercase share the same italic momentum, with a clean, controlled curve language and minimal ornament beyond the flared terminals.
Well-suited for attention-driven typography such as headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks where an italic, high-energy voice is desired. It can also work for editorial display applications and packaging when you want a classic serif foundation with extra speed and attitude.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a sporty, retro-leaning feel that reads as fast and purposeful. Its italic stance and bold presence give it a sense of motion and urgency, while the serif detailing keeps it rooted in editorial tradition rather than purely geometric display.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more athletic, kinetic italic profile, using flared terminals and controlled stroke swelling to create impact without heavy ornamentation. It prioritizes a strong, readable headline texture and a distinctive slanted rhythm for expressive display settings.
Capital forms are broad-shouldered and stable while maintaining the same rightward thrust, which helps headlines feel cohesive and emphatic. Curved letters and diagonals show consistent tapering, producing a sharp, high-impact texture in text lines even at larger sizes.
