A very heavy italic serif with pronounced contrast and a strongly calligraphic construction. Strokes swell and taper with flared, wedge-like endings and softly bracketed joins, giving the letterforms a carved-yet-inked feel. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is energetic, with angular entry/exit strokes, occasional teardrop terminals, and compact apertures that emphasize mass and momentum. Figures are similarly slanted and weighty, with rounded forms showing strong thick–thin modulation.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, posters, and branding where a strong italic voice is desirable. It can work well for sports or entertainment messaging, as well as packaging and pull quotes, especially at medium to large sizes where the contrast and terminal detail remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a confident, forward-leaning cadence that reads as dynamic and attention-seeking. It balances a traditional serif sensibility with a punchy, poster-like presence, suggesting urgency and impact rather than quiet refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a bold italic silhouette and high-contrast, flared serif detailing, combining classical forms with a more aggressive, display-oriented stance. The emphasis is on expressive texture and speed rather than neutrality or extended reading comfort.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the heavy weight makes internal white space a key part of legibility. In longer text, the dense color and sharp diagonals create a lively texture, while larger sizes reveal the nuanced swelling, tapering, and flared terminals that define the style.
