A very heavy italic serif with a strong rightward slant and energetic, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are broadly modeled with noticeable tapering into flared ends, producing a carved, sporty rhythm rather than a rigid geometric feel. Counters are relatively compact in many letters, while rounded forms (C, G, O, Q) stay open and smooth. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls and a single-storey “g,” with a consistent forward motion across words.
Best suited to large sizes where the dramatic slant and flared terminals can carry visual impact—headlines, posters, event promotion, and bold branding moments. It can also work for short, emphatic subheads or pull quotes, but its strong personality and density make it less ideal for long continuous reading.
The font reads as bold, assertive, and extroverted, with a distinctly retro display flavor. Its steep italic angle and flared endings give it a fast, headline-driven tone that feels promotional and attention seeking rather than quiet or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif voice—combining traditional terminals with a bold, speed-oriented italic stance. The aim is likely to create a display face that feels vintage and promotional while staying legible and cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The italic construction is integral (not an oblique): diagonals and curves are shaped to emphasize momentum, and terminals often cut into sharp, triangular points. Numerals are heavy and lively, matching the letterforms’ forward-leaning stance and high-impact silhouette.
