A compact, right-leaning serif with sturdy, slightly tapered strokes that broaden into flared endings. Serifs are braced and wedge-like, with crisp, angled terminals and a generally tight, vertical rhythm. Bowls and counters are relatively small for the weight, giving the letters a dense, inky color, while rounded forms (like O and C) stay smooth and controlled. Numerals and capitals share the same assertive, carved-in feel, with pointed joins and a consistent, forward slant throughout.
Well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and poster typography where a dense, energetic serif can carry strong emphasis. It can also support branding and packaging that wants a classic-but-forceful tone, and it naturally fits sports or performance-oriented visual systems that benefit from a forward-leaning stance.
The overall tone feels punchy and confident, combining a traditional serif foundation with a more aggressive, kinetic italic attitude. It reads as authoritative and headline-driven, with a slightly dramatic, display-leaning personality rather than a quiet bookish one.
Likely designed to deliver high-impact italic typography with a classic serif vocabulary, prioritizing strong silhouettes, wedge terminals, and a compact, emphatic texture for display-oriented reading.
The design’s emphasis on wedge shapes and flared stroke endings creates strong silhouettes and clear word shapes at larger sizes. The darker color and compact spacing suggest it will look most comfortable when given room to breathe in layout, especially in all-caps or short bursts of text.
