This typeface is a compact, right-leaning serif with heavy, tapered strokes that swell into flared terminals rather than ending in blunt slabs. Letterforms are tightly proportioned with a brisk rhythm and slightly calligraphic shaping, showing wedge-like serifs, angled joins, and rounded bowls that stay firmly controlled. The overall texture reads dark and continuous, with sturdy verticals, energetic diagonals, and small counters that reinforce a dense headline color.
Best used for headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where dense, high-impact texture is an advantage. It suits posters, packaging, editorial openers, and branding moments—especially in sporty or vintage-inspired contexts—where the flared serifs add character without delicate contrast that could break down in reproduction.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a retro display feel that suggests speed and emphasis. Its slanted stance and muscular silhouettes give it a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to bold statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact display voice with classic serif cues and flared, tapered endings that keep the forms lively. It balances tradition with urgency, aiming for strong emphasis and recognizable silhouette in large-format typography.
The numeral set follows the same compact, flared construction, producing a cohesive, poster-ready look. In the sample text, the strong stroke mass and tight spacing create a commanding typographic block that benefits from generous tracking and ample leading at larger sizes.
