A heavy, slanted serif with brisk, angular construction and tightly bracketed serifs. The strokes show clear modulation, with pointed wedge endings and distinctive forked or spurred terminals that create a carved, calligraphic snap in curves and joins. Counters are compact and the rhythm is lively, with slightly irregular, hand-cut feeling details—especially where bowls and diagonals meet. The lowercase carries sturdy, rounded forms with pronounced entry/exit flicks, while the caps lean on strong diagonals and sharp apexes for a punchy silhouette.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging where impact and personality are priorities. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or section openers at generous sizes, where its slanted stance and spurred detailing help establish a distinctive voice quickly.
The overall tone feels bold and theatrical, with a retro athletic/poster energy. The spurred terminals add a confident, slightly flamboyant voice that reads as dynamic and attention-seeking rather than quiet or neutral. It suggests motion and emphasis, making even short phrases feel heightened and performative.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with a more aggressive, ornamented italic gesture. By combining sturdy proportions with forked terminals and sharp wedges, it aims to deliver strong emphasis and a distinctive, vintage-leaning display presence.
In text, the dense color and energetic terminals create strong texture, but the decorative spurs can visually crowd tight settings. It favors larger sizes where the forked details and inner shapes stay crisp and intentional, especially in mixed-case headlines and short blocks.
