A heavy, right-leaning serif with distinctly flared, bracketed stroke endings and a broad, energetic rhythm. Strokes feel brush-informed: thick verticals and diagonals are countered by tapered joins and pointed terminals, producing a lively texture rather than a strictly geometric build. The caps are compact and forceful with sharp, wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase shows more movement and curvature, including single-storey forms and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same sculpted, tapered logic with bold bowls and crisp terminals, staying sturdy at display sizes.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, poster typography, logos, and brand marks that need confident impact. It also fits packaging, event promotions, and sports or entertainment graphics where a bold, fast, slightly retro voice is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a vintage, headline-forward flavor. Its bold slant and flared terminals evoke classic advertising and sports-era signage, giving text a sense of speed and showmanship without drifting into script territory.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif with a brush-like, flared finish—prioritizing strong word shape, motion, and personality for display typography while maintaining recognizable, readable letterforms.
The italic angle is consistent and strong, and the letterforms retain clear counters despite the weight. Pointed terminals and swelling strokes create a distinctive sparkle along word shapes, especially in mixed-case settings, where the lowercase contributes noticeable momentum and contrast in texture against the compact caps.
