A right-leaning, display-oriented serif with heavy, rounded strokes and pronounced flared terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often sweep into wedge-like, curved spur forms, giving the outlines a sculpted, almost carved rhythm rather than crisp, hairline detailing. Counters are compact and softly triangular/teardrop in places, and the joins show strong curvature that emphasizes motion. The overall texture is dense and dark, with energetic diagonals and a slightly bouncy baseline feel driven by lively terminals and asymmetrical finishing strokes.
Best suited to large sizes where the expressive terminals and dense strokes can read clearly—titles, poster copy, mastheads, brand marks, and packaging callouts. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where a strong, characterful serif is needed, but its high visual energy may be less appropriate for long-form body text.
The design reads assertive and nostalgic, combining a classic serif voice with a punchy, kinetic slant. Its flamboyant terminals and muscular curves give it a showy, headline-ready personality that feels at home in throwback editorial or sporting contexts. The tone is confident and attention-seeking rather than quiet or technical.
The letterforms appear designed to merge traditional serif structure with a modern, attention-grabbing slant and flared finishing. The emphasis is on impact and personality—creating a bold editorial voice with animated curves and distinctive terminal shapes that stay coherent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Uppercase forms present broad, stable silhouettes with distinctive entry/exit strokes (notably in letters like Q, R, S, and Z), while the lowercase keeps the same lively flare in bowls and shoulders. Numerals follow the same heavy, rounded construction with italicized momentum, maintaining a consistent dark color across mixed text.
