A forward-leaning serif with energetic proportions and subtly tapered, flared terminals. Strokes feel sturdy and largely even in weight, with crisp joins and wedge-like finishing that reads more carved than slabbed. Curves are compact and slightly angular in places, and many letters show brisk entry/exit strokes that create a fast rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and readable with a conventional x-height, while capitals have a slightly condensed, athletic stance and sharp apexes.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and editorial callouts where the italicized energy and flared endings can create a strong typographic signature. It also suits branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a classic serif voice with added momentum. In longer text it can work for short bursts or pull quotes where a lively texture is desired.
The overall tone is confident and editorial—traditional enough to feel established, but with a noticeable sense of motion from the slant and brisk terminals. It suggests a voice that is assertive and professional, with a hint of vintage sports or newspaper headline energy rather than delicate formality.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif foundation with a more kinetic, display-friendly silhouette. The flared terminals and sharpened details emphasize punch and pace, aiming for strong typographic color and a confident, contemporary editorial presence.
Figures are strong and display-oriented, matching the letterforms’ forward momentum. The design’s tapered endings and pointed details create a distinctive texture in paragraphs, especially at larger sizes where the flared terminals and sharp curves become part of the visual personality.
