A bold, right-leaning serif with distinctly flared stroke endings that read like wedge serifs rather than brackets. Strokes show a calligraphic bias, with rounded joins, soft terminals, and gently swelling stems that give the shapes a sculpted, inked feel. Counters are relatively tight and the overall texture is dark and compact, while diagonals and curves carry a smooth, continuous rhythm. Numerals match the heavy, energetic color and share the same tapered, flaring finishes for a consistent set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent short text where the bold color and flared terminals can carry personality. It can work well for branding and packaging that wants a retro or sporty tone, and for editorial display settings such as pull quotes and section openers.
The font conveys a punchy, retro confidence—loud without feeling harsh—thanks to its warm curves and athletic forward slant. Its flared endings and inky weight add a nostalgic, display-driven personality suited to attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif foundation with an energetic italic stance and flared, wedge-like endings, prioritizing strong word shapes and distinctive silhouettes for display use. Its consistent, sculpted stroke behavior suggests an aim for high impact while keeping curves and joins friendly and readable.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing strong directional momentum in words. Despite the heavy weight, interior shapes remain clear in running text at larger sizes, and the flared terminals add distinctive silhouette detail that becomes more prominent as size increases.
