This is a bold italic serif with a lively, calligraphic construction and subtly flared terminals that broaden into small, bracketed serif-like endings. Strokes show moderate contrast and a forward-leaning rhythm, with curved joins and occasional notch-like shaping at inside corners that adds bite to the silhouettes. Uppercase forms are wide and confident with open counters, while the lowercase keeps a readable, fairly traditional structure and a steady x-height. Figures are robust and slanted to match the text, with clear weight and strong presence in running lines.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short bursts of text where bold italic emphasis is desired. Its strong slant and flared serif detailing make it effective for magazine covers, posters, branding marks, and packaging that needs a confident, classic-meets-modern voice.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, combining classic serif cues with a sporty, headline-forward slant. It feels at home in punchy editorial settings where you want motion and emphasis without losing a familiar typographic voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic serif for display typography, emphasizing speed and impact while retaining traditional letter skeletons for familiarity. Flared terminals and crisp interior shaping add character and distinguishability in larger settings.
Spacing appears generous enough for display use, and the italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, helping long lines keep a smooth, flowing texture. The flared stroke endings and sharp inner shaping create a slightly rugged, inked character that reads well at larger sizes.
