A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the joins and endings, giving the strokes a carved, muscular feel. Curves are full and tightly controlled, with compact counters and a sturdy baseline presence; the uppercase reads as broad-shouldered and poster-ready while the lowercase stays compact and energetic. Serifs are not hairline-fine or slabby; instead they appear as angled, swelling terminals that create a continuous, sculpted rhythm across letters. Figures are bold and rounded with clear differentiation, matching the strong stroke endings and italic momentum seen throughout the alphabet.
Best suited for headlines, title treatments, posters, and bold brand marks where strong presence and forward motion are desirable. It can also work well on packaging or campaign graphics that benefit from a vintage-leaning, high-impact italic serif, especially at display sizes where the flared terminals and sculpted curves remain clear.
The font projects assertive, high-energy emphasis with a distinctly retro editorial flavor. Its slanted stance and flared endings add motion and drama, making text feel punchy, sporty, and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or delicate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif cues with a more kinetic, display-oriented italic structure. By using flared terminals and dense shapes, it aims to deliver a classic-but-assertive voice that reads strongly in short bursts of text and branded statements.
In the sample text, the tight internal spaces and strong stroke endings increase visual density, which heightens impact in larger sizes. The overall texture is dark and lively, with a consistent forward drive and a slightly calligraphic, chiseled finish at terminals.
