A very heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that read as cut or brushed into the stroke. The design shows strong thick–thin contrast and brisk, tapered joins, giving counters a compact, teardrop feel in places and creating sharp, energetic silhouettes. Proportions skew broad in capitals and many lowercase forms, with a lively, uneven rhythm typical of display italics; curves are full and weighty while diagonals and entry/exit strokes pinch to crisp points. Numerals follow the same bold, tapered logic, with high-impact shapes and clearly differentiated forms.
Best suited for headlines, short bursts of copy, and branded phrases where the italic slant and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It can work effectively for posters, sports or event promotions, packaging callouts, and logo/wordmark-style treatments where high contrast and bold presence are desired.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, combining a classic, old-style italic flavor with a more aggressive, poster-ready punch. It feels energetic and a bit swaggering—well suited to attention-grabbing statements where motion and contrast are part of the voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that merges traditional serif calligraphy cues with modern, emphatic weight and flare. Its goal is to deliver speed, confidence, and recognizable texture in large-scale typography.
In text settings the dense weight and sharp tapers create a strong texture and noticeable diagonal momentum, making the face most comfortable at larger sizes. The flare at stroke ends and the compact counters contribute to a distinctive, branded look rather than a neutral reading color.
