A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that give strokes a chiselled, expanding finish. The letterforms show moderate contrast and an oblique stress, with compact counters and relatively tight apertures that keep the texture dark and cohesive. Proportions are broad and sturdy, with a tall lowercase presence and energetic diagonals; curves and joins are slightly sharpened, and some shapes suggest subtle notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins where strokes meet.
Best suited to large sizes where its flared terminals and compact counters can project impact—headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging display. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when a forceful, energetic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, combining a classic serif foundation with a punchy, forward-leaning attitude. It reads as confident and slightly retro, evoking sports headlines, promotional typography, and impactful editorial callouts.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif cues with a more contemporary, high-impact slanted construction, emphasizing speed, strength, and display presence through heavy strokes and flared finishing details.
In the sample text, the strong slant and dense color create a fast, emphatic rhythm, especially in mixed-case lines. Numerals are robust and attention-grabbing, matching the alphabet’s weight and maintaining consistent flare at stroke endings.
