A compact, slanted serif with dense proportions and pronounced flare at stroke terminals. Stems expand into wedge-like, bracketed serifs and pointed beaks, giving the outlines a carved, energetic feel. Counters are relatively tight and the joins are sturdy, producing a strong, poster-ready color. Curves in letters like C, G, S, and the bowls of b/p/q are smooth but pulled taut, while diagonals and arms end in crisp, tapered tips that reinforce the forward motion.
Best suited to display typography where compact width and strong flare can do the heavy lifting—headlines, subheads, posters, mastheads, and bold pull quotes. It can also work for sporty or vintage-leaning branding and packaging where a condensed, italicized serif with sharp terminals adds urgency and character.
The overall tone feels assertive and high-impact, with a retro editorial and athletic flavor. Its bold, compressed rhythm reads as energetic and attention-seeking, suggesting headlines that want to feel fast, loud, and decisive.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in limited horizontal space while preserving a serifed, traditional backbone. The flared terminals and wedge-like serifs are leveraged to add motion, bite, and a distinctive silhouette that remains legible at large sizes.
Uppercase forms are clean and blocky with sharp, flaring terminals, while the lowercase keeps a compact, workmanlike texture that stays cohesive in longer lines. Numerals are heavy and graphic, matching the letterforms with similar wedge terminals and tight interior space, which helps the set feel consistent in display settings.
