A right-leaning serif with flared, tapered terminals and firmly bracketed feet that give the strokes a chiseled, carved-in feel. The forms are fairly wide with strong horizontals and crisp, slightly angular joins; counters stay open while curves are drawn taut, especially in C, S, and G. Stroke endings often sharpen or wedge rather than finish bluntly, producing a lively, forward-moving texture in text. Numerals follow the same slanted, wedge-terminal logic, with energetic diagonals and a consistent, high-contrast silhouette without becoming delicate.
Works best in headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where its slanted, flared details can be appreciated. It suits posters, packaging, and brand systems that need a classic serif presence with extra energy, and can also support punchy editorial layouts or sports-adjacent graphics when used at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and kinetic, blending a classic serif pedigree with a display-driven punch. It reads as sporty and slightly retro, like editorial headlines or branded messaging that wants tradition with momentum. The italic slant and flared terminals add a sense of speed and emphasis, keeping the voice bold and attention-forward.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif italic by amplifying flare and wedge terminals for a more impactful, display-oriented voice. Its wide proportions and assertive stroke endings suggest a goal of strong headline performance and memorable branding while retaining familiar serif structure.
Spacing appears generous for a display serif, helping maintain clarity in tight headlines despite the strong slant. The rhythm is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with a noticeable emphasis on sharp diagonals (V/W/X/Y) and wedge-like finishing strokes that create a distinctive, recognizable texture.
