A bold italic serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically slabbed. Strokes show a calligraphic modulation: straights swell into terminals, curves are full and rounded, and joins are smoothly tapered, producing a lively, slightly “inked” texture. Proportions are compact in the capitals while the lowercase is roomy with a tall x-height, large bowls, and strong, angled entry/exit strokes; overall spacing reads even and robust at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text at larger sizes where the flared terminals and modulation can be appreciated. It works well for posters, magazine or editorial titling, packaging, and branding that wants an energetic, slightly retro-leaning voice with strong emphasis.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a forward-leaning, sporty momentum and a slightly vintage editorial flavor. The flared terminals and soft modulation add warmth and personality, keeping the heaviness from feeling blunt or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact emphasis with an italic-driven sense of motion, while using flared serif detailing to add craft and warmth. It balances sturdy, attention-grabbing weight with a smoother, calligraphic finish for expressive display typography.
The numerals are similarly weighty and italicized, with open counters and curved forms that match the lowercase rhythm. Round letters (C, O, S, e) emphasize smoothness, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, y) sharpen the pace; together they create a strong headline texture that remains readable without becoming rigid.
