A slanted serif with a strong rightward shear and distinctly flared stroke endings that act like soft, tapered serifs. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thicker downstrokes and sharper, more pointed terminals that create a crisp, inked feel. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls and slightly narrowed joins; the lowercase is lively, using angled entry/exit strokes, a single-storey "a," and a looped descender on "g." Numerals are full and sturdy with rounded counters, matching the font’s forward-leaning rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short subheads, and branding where slanted emphasis and strong presence are desired. It can work well for sports or action-oriented graphics, packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a dynamic, retro-leaning serif voice.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, combining a traditional serif footprint with a fast, athletic slant. Its flared ends and calligraphic stress add a slightly vintage, print-like character that feels confident rather than delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver italic-like emphasis without becoming script, using flared endings and controlled stroke modulation to project speed and confidence. It balances traditional serif cues with a more contemporary, display-driven rhythm for attention-grabbing typography.
The design relies on sharp, wedge-like terminals and consistent right-leaning momentum to create visual speed. Round letters (O, C, Q, 0) keep smooth, even curves, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read punchy and compact, helping the face hold up in emphatic settings.
