A condensed, forward-leaning serif with pronounced flared terminals and a high-contrast, chiseled feel. Strokes stay relatively uniform through the middles, then widen into wedge-like endings that read as soft serifs, giving the letters a sculpted, ink-trap-adjacent rhythm. Counters are compact and apertures are tight, while curves are squared-off and slightly angular, especially in rounds like C, G, O, and S. Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined with strong vertical emphasis; the lowercase is similarly narrow with sturdy shoulders and a crisp, utilitarian construction. Numerals follow the same condensed, slanted logic with assertive weight and firm, flaring finishes.
Best suited for headlines, short bursts of copy, and identity work where its condensed slant and flared terminals can project speed and character. It performs well on posters, packaging fronts, sports or event branding, and bold editorial callouts where a retro-leaning, high-impact voice is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and nostalgic, evoking mid‑century display lettering and athletic or automotive branding. The slant and narrow proportions create momentum, while the flared endings add a crafted, vintage authority. It feels bold and declarative rather than delicate, suited to attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended as a display serif that combines condensed italic momentum with flared, sculptural terminals for a distinctive vintage-modern hybrid. Its consistent, sturdy construction prioritizes immediacy and recognizability in larger sizes, emphasizing rhythm and presence over quiet text neutrality.
Diagonal strokes (V, W, X, Y) appear especially sharp and graphic, reinforcing a fast, streamlined texture in words. The punctuation and spacing shown in the sample support dense, headline-style setting where the tight proportions and flared ends create a distinctive pattern.
