A heavy, right-leaning serif with strongly flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that create a carved, tapering silhouette rather than blunt slabs. The strokes are broadly even in thickness, with contrast kept subtle, while the italic construction introduces lively diagonals and sheared curves. Capitals feel wide-shouldered and emphatic, with pointed joins and crisp interior counters; rounds like O/Q read dense and stable. Lowercase forms are compact and energetic, with sturdy bowls, short extenders, and a prominent, angled entry/exit behavior that keeps word shapes active at display sizes.
This face is best suited to headlines, punchy subheads, and short-form statements where its dense color and flared terminals can read as intentional texture. It should perform well in branding marks, packaging, event promotion, and editorial display settings where a confident, slightly retro voice is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and punchy, with a nostalgic, poster-like flavor. Its slanted, flared finishing gives it a sense of speed and showmanship, balancing classic serif cues with a more expressive, athletic attitude.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact through weight and slant while avoiding high-contrast fragility. Flared endings and wedge serifs provide a distinctive signature that feels both classic and energetic, suggesting a display-first italic built for strong presence in print and large-scale graphics.
The numerals match the text weight closely and maintain the same wedge-and-flare logic, producing strong, high-impact figures. Spacing in the samples appears intentionally tight for a compact, headline-driven rhythm, and the italic slant remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
