A very heavy italic serif with flared, wedge-like stroke endings and pronounced bracketed joins that give the letters a sculpted, carved look. The stroke modulation is moderate, with thick, rounded masses balanced by sharp triangular spur accents on corners and terminals. Bowls are broad and compact, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm feels energetic due to the consistent rightward slant and punchy, tapered finishing strokes. Numerals and caps share the same bold, swelling forms, with occasional teardrop-like terminals and small notch/ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen the silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its heavy italic presence and flared serif detailing can read large: headlines, poster typography, punchy branding, and packaging. It can also work for short bursts of emphasis in editorial layouts (pull quotes, section openers) where a dramatic, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The tone is confident and high-impact, mixing a retro editorial flavor with a sporty, attention-grabbing stance. Its slanted, flared details add a sense of motion and showmanship, keeping the overall feel bold and slightly theatrical rather than restrained.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic italic stance while retaining serif structure. The flared terminals and sharp spur details look tuned for expressive display typography that feels both classic and energetic.
In longer lines the heavy weight and narrow interior spaces create strong texture and dark color, making spacing and line length important for readability. The italic angle is substantial and consistent across cases, and the letterforms lean on distinctive terminal shapes to create personality.
