A heavy italic serif with flared, bracketed terminals that swell into wedge-like endings. The letterforms lean forward with a steady, energetic slant, and the strokes show moderate modulation—thick main stems with controlled thinning in joins and curves. Counters are relatively tight and rounded, giving the design a compact, punchy texture at text sizes. Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy with assertive curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase shows single-storey a and g, strong shoulders, and rounded dots on i and j. Numerals are similarly robust, with curvy, weighty shapes and a lively italic rhythm.
This font is well suited to headlines, short deck copy, and large-scale typography where its flared terminals and italic momentum can be appreciated. It works especially well for branding, packaging, event graphics, and sports or lifestyle promotions that benefit from a forceful, classic-meets-modern voice.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, combining classic serif cues with an athletic, forward-driving italic stance. It feels headline-oriented and attention-seeking, with a slightly vintage, poster-like confidence that reads as both editorial and promotional.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a distinctive serif signature, using flared terminals and a strong italic slant to project speed, confidence, and premium display character.
Flared endings and soft bracketing add a carved, sculptural feel that keeps the heavy weight from turning blocky. The italic angle and tight internal spaces create a dense color, making spacing and size choices important for longer passages.
