A forceful italic serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and softly bracketed joins that give the outlines a sculpted, carved feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with heavy, rounded terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems rather than ending in flat slabs. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the italic construction leans with a steady rhythm and slightly variable letter widths that keep the texture lively. Numerals and capitals share the same confident, forward-leaning stance, with smooth curves and crisp, slightly sharpened entry/exit points.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and hero typography where the italic energy and flared serifs can carry the message. It also fits branding and packaging that need a classic-but-punchy voice, and can work well for sports or event messaging thanks to its forward motion and strong presence.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, combining a traditional serif foundation with a sporty, momentum-driven slant. It reads as bold and emphatic without becoming decorative, projecting a sense of action and authority suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The font appears designed to merge editorial serif credibility with the speed and emphasis of a bold italic, using flared terminals and wedge serifs to add impact and distinctive texture. The goal seems to be high visibility and character in short phrases, titles, and logo-style settings.
The design’s flaring terminals and wedge serifs create strong directional cues along the baseline, producing a compact, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes. In continuous text the texture is dense and rhythmic, with rounded shapes and firm terminals helping maintain clarity despite the heavy weight.
