A compact, forward-leaning serif with flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that broaden from the stems. The letterforms are dense and weighty, with a consistent, low-contrast stroke structure and a tight, rhythmic texture in text. Curves are full and slightly squared off at joins, while diagonals and arms feel sharply cut, giving the forms a punchy, athletic cadence. Numerals are sturdy and bold in presence, matching the uppercase’s assertive proportions.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a compact, energetic serif can carry strong voice. It also works well for editorial pull quotes and subheads, especially where an italic-driven emphasis is desired.
The overall tone reads confident and energetic, combining a vintage print sensibility with a sporty, headline-ready attitude. Its condensed momentum and flared finishing details create a sense of speed and emphasis while still feeling rooted in traditional serif forms.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, space-efficient serif with a dynamic slant and flared finishing, balancing classic serif cues with a more modern, punchy presence for display typography.
In the sample text, the type builds a dark, even color with clear word shapes and a noticeable rightward slant that adds motion. The uppercase feels especially commanding for short phrases, while the lowercase maintains a compact, italic rhythm suited to emphatic editorial lines.
