A very heavy italic serif with energetic, calligraphic modulation and pronounced flared stroke endings. The capitals are broad-shouldered with wedge-like, bracketed terminals and a strong forward slant, producing a compact but forceful rhythm. Lowercase forms are round and weighty with tight apertures and sturdy joins; counters stay readable despite the mass. Curves are smooth and full, while diagonals and cross-strokes taper into sharp, angled terminals that emphasize motion and direction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, title treatments, and brand marks where the slanted, flared serif construction can carry personality. It can also work well for packaging and editorial display when large sizes and generous leading allow its dense strokes and tight apertures to breathe.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, with a fast, forward-leaning feel. It reads as bold and promotional, evoking vintage headline typography and athletic or automotive energy while still keeping a refined serif presence.
Designed to deliver maximum emphasis through a heavy italic stance and flared serif detailing, balancing classic serif cues with a more kinetic, promotional voice. The construction suggests a focus on display readability and visual momentum rather than long-form text comfort.
Spacing appears tight and display-oriented, with strong word-shape emphasis and pronounced entry/exit strokes in the italic forms. Numerals match the heavy, flared construction and feel built for emphasis rather than quiet text setting.
