A slanted serif with energetic, calligraphic construction and noticeably flared stroke endings. Strokes swell and taper through curves and joins, with rounded terminals and softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs that broaden out from the stems. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with relatively open counters for the weight, and a lively rhythm created by the consistent rightward slant and tapered diagonals. Numerals are robust and slightly varied in width, matching the same flared, sculpted stroke logic as the letters.
Well-suited to display typography where its flared serifs and italic drive can carry personality—such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of editorial text (decks, intros, captions) where a strong voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, pairing classical serif cues with a forward-leaning, action-oriented feel. It reads as emphatic and editorial, with enough motion to suggest sport, headlines, or promotional copy rather than quiet, bookish setting.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with a brisk italic stance and flared terminals, creating a distinctive, high-impact texture that stays readable while projecting energy. Its sculpted stroke modulation suggests a focus on expressive display use rather than neutral text setting.
Uppercase forms feel broad-shouldered and stable, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence in the shapes and joins, reinforcing the italic momentum. The design maintains consistent stroke flare across straight stems, diagonals, and rounded letters, giving text a cohesive, carved-in-ink texture at display sizes.
