A heavy, forward-leaning serif with distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals and sturdy, compact proportions. Strokes are broad with moderate thick–thin modulation, and the joins and brackets create a slightly sculpted, carved feel rather than sharp mechanical serifs. Counters tend to be tight and rounded, curves are full, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with diagonals and angled terminals reinforcing the italic momentum. Numerals and capitals read especially bold and blocky, while lowercase retains a strong, dense texture in text.
Best suited for display typography where impact and personality matter: headlines, poster titles, pull quotes, packaging, and brand marks that want a bold, vintage-leaning voice. It can also work for short bursts of text (e.g., decks, labels, subheads) when a dense, energetic texture is desired.
The tone is assertive and punchy, with a retro, poster-like flavor that feels at home in bold headlines and emphatic statements. Its slanted stance and flared serifs add a sporty, action-oriented character, balancing classic serif cues with a more rugged, display-driven attitude.
Likely designed to deliver strong, attention-grabbing typography with a traditional serif base, enhanced by flared terminals and a pronounced slant for extra motion and presence. The emphasis appears to be on distinctive silhouettes and high impact at large sizes rather than quiet, neutral reading.
The face maintains a consistent, weighty color across lines, with short-looking ascenders/descenders relative to the dense body, helping it feel compact at larger sizes. The italic is pronounced enough to signal emphasis immediately, and the flared terminals add a distinctive silhouette that remains visible even in short words.
