A slanted, heavy serif with softly flared stroke endings and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that read as carved rather than sharply hairlined. Strokes are broadly even with gentle modulation, and curves (C, G, O, S) are full and dark, creating a dense, rhythmic texture. Capitals feel compact and sturdy with slightly tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows lively joins and a robust, rounded construction; counters are moderate and the overall spacing reads tight but controlled. Numerals are weighty and italicized to match, with rounded forms and stable, display-oriented proportions.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and short bursts of text where a strong, energetic serif is desired. The weight and slant make it suitable for posters, packaging, and branding—especially in contexts that benefit from a classic-but-athletic feel—while longer passages are better kept to larger sizes with comfortable leading.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, combining a traditional serif voice with a sporty, forward-leaning momentum. It suggests confidence and impact—more headline punch than quiet bookishness—while still retaining a classic, familiar typographic character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, italic serif voice with traditional cues—wedge serifs and flared terminals—optimized for display impact and fast visual recognition. It balances heritage shapes with a vigorous slant to project motion and authority.
The italic angle is consistent and prominent, giving lines a strong directional flow. The heavy color and relatively closed apertures favor larger sizes where the flared terminals and wedges can be appreciated without crowding.
