A robust, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly flared, wedge-like treatment at many stroke endings. Letterforms show sculpted, calligraphic modulation: thick verticals and diagonals taper into sharp terminals, while serifs read as braced and energetic rather than delicate. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and curves are drawn with a slightly compressed, forward-driving rhythm that keeps large text compact and punchy. Numerals match the same italicized momentum, with bold, rounded shapes and crisp finishing cuts.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where the strong slant and high-contrast shaping can read as intentional style. It works well for posters, campaign or magazine-style editorial display, branding marks, and packaging where a bold, dynamic serif voice is desired. In longer text, it will typically benefit from larger sizes and comfortable tracking to keep the dense texture open.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, with a vintage editorial flavor and a hint of athletic signage energy. Its strong slant and blade-like terminals add urgency and motion, making the voice feel emphatic and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or academic.
The design appears intended as a display serif that blends italic calligraphic momentum with flared, wedge-like terminals to create a forceful, contemporary take on classic serif drama. Its forms prioritize impact and rhythm over quiet neutrality, aiming to deliver a strong typographic “hit” in titles and branding.
In the sample text, the heavy color and tight internal spaces create a dense texture that rewards generous size and spacing. The most distinctive signature is the combination of strong contrast with flared, chiseled terminals, giving headlines a carved, poster-like presence.
