A robust italic serif with energetic, sweeping forms and pronounced stroke modulation. Stems and arms expand into flared, wedge-like terminals, creating a sculpted silhouette and strong directional rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and the joins are tightly shaped, while the overall proportions read broad and powerful, with a consistent rightward slant across caps, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase shows lively curves and occasional teardrop-like details, and the numerals share the same bold, tapered construction for a unified texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its bold italic motion and flared serif detailing can carry impact—headlines, poster titles, branding marks, sports or entertainment graphics, and packaging callouts. It can work for short bursts of editorial emphasis, but its dense texture favors larger sizes and tighter, punchier copy blocks over long-form reading.
The tone is bold and theatrical, blending a sense of vintage signage with a confident, contemporary punch. Its sharp flares and sweeping italics suggest speed and emphasis, giving lines a headline-forward, high-impact character.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum emphasis with a fast, stylized serif voice—combining classic, wedge-flared terminals with modern, attention-grabbing mass. It’s built to create strong word shapes and a distinctive edge-driven rhythm in prominent typographic moments.
In paragraphs, the heavy weight and tight interior spaces create a dense color, while the flared terminals add sparkle at word edges. The italic angle is strong enough to feel intentionally dynamic rather than merely oblique, and the serif treatment reads more sculpted than delicate, staying legible at display sizes.
