A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and tapered, flaring terminals that read as sculpted rather than mechanical. Strokes shift from thick vertical masses to sharp hairline-like joins, producing crisp interior counters and pointed joins on letters like A, V, W, and X. Serifs are compact and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, while curves (C, G, S, O) have a strong, carved rhythm and tight apertures. The figures are similarly robust and stylized, with bold bowls and angled stress that match the letterforms.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, sports or entertainment branding, and packaging fronts where bold, italicized emphasis is desired. It can work for subheads and callouts, but the strong contrast and stylization make it less suited to long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, with a confident, forward motion that suggests headlines, competition, and classic showcard energy. The high-contrast slant and flared endings give it a dramatic, slightly vintage flavor while staying clean and graphic.
Designed to deliver emphatic, slanted display typography with a sculpted serif language—combining high-contrast drama with flared terminals to create a fast, attention-grabbing texture in titles and brand marks.
Spacing appears intentionally open for a display face, helping dense strokes avoid clogging at larger sizes. The lowercase shows a sturdy, compact feel with single-storey forms where visible and a pronounced oblique flow, keeping word shapes energetic and slightly compressed in texture.
