A robust, right-leaning serif with flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that broaden smoothly out of the stems. The letterforms are wide and open, with generous counters and a steady, low-contrast stroke pattern that keeps color even in text. Curves are full and slightly squared at transitions, and several joins show subtle wedge-like shaping that reads as flare rather than sharp calligraphic contrast. Numerals and capitals carry the same broad stance and energetic slant, producing a dense, confident texture.
Best suited to display settings where the wide stance and flared serif shaping can register clearly—headlines, posters, cover lines, and bold editorial titling. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a confident, retro-leaning serif with strong impact.
The overall tone is bold and forward-moving, combining vintage editorial flavor with a sporty, attention-grabbing voice. Its flared endings and pronounced slant give it a punchy, headline-oriented feel while staying structured and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact italicized typography with a distinctive flared-serif signature, prioritizing strong silhouettes, open counters, and an energetic, contemporary-meets-retro tone for prominent text.
The rhythm is lively due to the consistent slant and wide proportions, and the flare at terminals adds a distinctive silhouette at both large and medium sizes. The family of shapes feels cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with rounded interior spaces and sturdy diagonals contributing to a solid, display-ready presence.
