A forward-leaning serif with energetic, calligraphic construction and visibly flared stroke endings. Strokes broaden into wedge-like terminals rather than ending bluntly, giving many letters a sculpted, slightly engraved feel. Counters are fairly open for a heavy style, with a rhythm that alternates between sturdy verticals and lively curved joins. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and a buoyant, rounded construction, while capitals maintain compact proportions with assertive diagonals and crisp joins. Figures are strong and graphic, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) reading especially bold and stable.
Best suited to display settings where the flared terminals and italic energy can read at a glance—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short blocks of editorial-style copy or pull quotes when a confident, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is punchy and expressive, balancing classic serif cues with a dynamic, slanted posture. It feels sporty and retro, with a friendly informality that suggests motion and emphasis rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif that merges traditional wedge/flare details with a dynamic italic stance. The goal appears to be strong presence and personality for promotional and branding contexts while retaining recognizable serif structure.
Stroke endings often resolve into pointed, slightly angled wedges that create a distinctive sparkle in text. Spacing appears comfortable for display use, and the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping lines feel continuous and fast-moving.
