A compact, right-leaning serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and a pronounced sense of motion. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with strong, dark stems and subtly swelling terminals that read as integrated flares rather than bracketed slabs. Curves are firm and slightly condensed, counters are relatively small, and the overall texture is dense and rhythmic, especially in all-caps. Numerals follow the same punchy, angled construction with sturdy diagonals and confident curves.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, and punchy subheads where its dense weight and forward slant can work at display sizes. It also fits sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and promotional typography where an energetic, vintage-inflected voice is desirable.
The font conveys speed and impact with a retro-leaning, display-forward attitude. Its sharp, athletic cadence feels promotional and attention-grabbing, while the flared endings add a touch of classic, print-era styling rather than a purely modern slant.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, forceful display italic with a classic serif flavor, using flared terminals and compact proportions to keep the silhouette crisp and attention-oriented. It prioritizes presence and momentum over quiet body-text neutrality.
Uppercase forms project a strong headline presence with consistent slant and compact spacing, while lowercase includes several more calligraphic joins and angled entry/exit strokes that reinforce the italic momentum. The combination produces a lively, slightly theatrical texture that remains legible at larger sizes.
