A heavy, right-leaning serif with broad proportions and flared, wedge-like terminals that often sharpen into beaks. Strokes show moderate contrast, with thick, confident main stems and tapered joins that create a lively, carved feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Counters are generally open for the weight, while curves and diagonals carry subtle swelling and occasional notch-like cut-ins at tight joins, adding texture and bite. The lowercase is compact and punchy, with single-storey forms and brisk entry/exit strokes that keep the rhythm moving in words.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and prominent branding where its angled energy and flared terminals can read as intentional character. It can work well on packaging and editorial feature treatments, especially for short bursts of text, pull quotes, and titling where impact matters more than quiet neutrality.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, combining a vintage display sensibility with a sporty, headline-driven punch. Its angled stance and flared endings add drama and momentum, giving text a confident, attention-grabbing voice with a slightly playful edge.
The design appears intended as a characterful display serif that merges traditional serif cues with brisk italic motion and sculpted, flared endings. Its letterforms emphasize momentum and presence, aiming to deliver a distinctive voice for bold editorial and promotional settings.
In running text the strong italic angle and prominent terminals produce a pronounced horizontal flow, and the heavier joins can create dark spots at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same muscular, flared construction, reading best when given enough size and breathing room.
