A slanted serif with sturdy, compact forms and gently tapered strokes that widen into flared, wedge-like endings. The serifs are bracketed and integrated, giving the outlines a carved, sculpted feel rather than sharp hairlines. Curves are broad and smooth with a slightly calligraphic rhythm, while joins and terminals show subtle swelling that reinforces the energetic, forward-leaning stance. Figures are full and open, with consistent weight through bowls and clear differentiation across the set.
Best suited to headlines, short blocks of emphasis, and branded messaging where a lively serif voice is desired. It can work for posters, packaging, and sports or entertainment collateral that benefits from a bold, kinetic texture, and it also holds together in larger-size editorial applications such as deck lines and pull quotes.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-moving, with a spirited, slightly retro flavor. Its italic posture and flared terminals add a sense of motion and emphasis, making text feel punchy and confident without becoming overly delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a serif with the speed and emphasis of an italic, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to create a distinctive, high-impact silhouette. It prioritizes presence and rhythm over quiet neutrality, aiming for a recognizable display character.
The face reads strongly at display sizes, where the flared endings and bracketed transitions become a key identifying detail. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive, headline-driven texture.
