A bold italic serif with pronounced flared terminals and softly bracketed wedge serifs that give strokes a carved, forward-driving feel. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction with a strong diagonal stress, tight inner counters, and confident curves, producing a lively texture in both caps and lowercase. Proportions are slightly condensed in places, and widths vary by glyph, creating a dynamic rhythm; numerals and capitals maintain a sturdy, display-oriented presence while remaining cohesive with the slanted, tapered stroke endings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display roles where the bold italic voice and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding marks, packaging, and event or sports-style promotions that benefit from a dynamic, authoritative serif.
The overall tone feels assertive and classic, mixing traditional serif cues with a fast, energetic slant. It reads as editorial and slightly retro, suggesting motion and emphasis without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif for display typography, combining classic serif structure with flared, tapering stroke endings to create motion, emphasis, and a distinctive editorial personality.
The italic angle is substantial, and the flared stroke endings are a defining feature across the set, helping the font hold together at large sizes while giving word shapes a distinctive, punchy silhouette. The lowercase has a compact, sturdy color that pairs well with the heavy capitals for emphatic typographic hierarchy.
