A slanted serif with heavy, compact strokes and distinctly flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs. The letterforms favor sharp joins and angled cuts, with rounded bowls kept tight and sturdy for a dense, punchy texture. Curves are controlled rather than soft, and diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X) read crisp and purposeful. Spacing is open enough for display use, while the strong stroke mass and pronounced terminals create a clear, rhythmic silhouette across lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where a strong, energetic typographic voice is needed. It also works well for sports or entertainment campaigns, cover lines, and short editorial callouts that benefit from motion and emphasis more than quiet, long-form reading.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, combining a vintage print sensibility with a modern, headline-driven punch. Its italic stance and chiseled serifs give it a sense of motion and emphasis, making text feel dynamic and slightly theatrical without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver an emphatic italic serif for display typography, pairing substantial weight with flared, incised terminals for a distinctive, high-impact texture. The goal appears to be a balance of legibility and personality—firm letter shapes with enough stylistic edge to stand out in branding and headline contexts.
The design leans on angular details—especially in the ends of strokes and the shaping of counters—which helps maintain clarity at larger sizes. Numerals are robust and stylized to match the flared serif language, supporting attention-grabbing settings where figures need to hold their own.
