A heavy, oblique serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden at stroke endings rather than forming flat slabs. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and terminals sharpen into angled points, producing a brisk, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes feel largely even with only subtle modulation, and the overall color is dense and steady in text. Uppercase forms are sturdy and compact, with relatively tight counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and lively, slightly calligraphic shaping in letters like a, e, and g. Figures are strong and wide-set, with angled terminals that match the letterforms’ slanted, energetic posture.
This design performs best in headlines and short blocks where its forward slant and flared terminals can provide character and momentum. It suits posters, packaging, and branding systems that want a sporty or retro-leaning voice, and it can add punch to editorial display settings such as section openers, pull quotes, and cover lines.
The font projects motion and urgency, combining a sporty, poster-like punch with a slightly vintage editorial flavor. Its slant and flared ends give it a confident, attention-seeking voice that feels bold without becoming decorative. The tone is energetic and assertive, suited to messaging that wants to sound decisive and active.
The letterforms appear intended to merge the authority of a serif with the speed and impact of an oblique display face. Flared terminals and dense stroke color are used to boost visibility and create a distinctive silhouette, aiming for strong recognition in title and branding contexts.
Serif treatment is consistently flared across straight and curved strokes, creating a cohesive, chiseled silhouette. The oblique angle is pronounced enough to read as dynamic in headlines, and the dense texture suggests it will hold presence at display sizes. Round letters (O, Q, o) stay smooth and sturdy, while diagonals (V, W, X, y) emphasize the angular terminal language.
