An energetic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and high-contrast strokes. Stems expand into flared, wedge-like terminals rather than hairline serifs, giving letters a carved, brush-driven feel. Forms are broad and generously spaced, with rounded bowls, tapered joins, and frequent pointed ends on diagonals that create a crisp, forward-leaning rhythm. Lowercase shows compact counters and buoyant curves, while capitals read wide and emphatic with strong diagonal stress.
Best suited to display typography where its slant, contrast, and flared terminals can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, campaign graphics, and brand marks. It can work for short editorial decks or pull quotes, but its strong motion and stylization make it less ideal for quiet, small-size body copy.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing a vintage display sensibility with a fast, sporty lean. Its flared endings and sharp tapers add swagger and motion, making text feel animated and slightly dramatic rather than neutral or purely classical.
The font appears designed to deliver a confident, attention-grabbing voice by combining italic momentum with flared, sculpted terminals and broad proportions. The goal seems to be high impact and distinctive texture in large text, while still keeping letterforms familiar and readable.
The design maintains consistent slant and contrast across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping long lines hold together despite the expressive terminals. Numerals are sturdy and open, matching the letterforms’ wedge-ended language and maintaining a clear silhouette at display sizes.
