A heavy, right-slanted serif with visibly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed joins. The letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm: bowls are full and rounded, counters are open, and curves transition into straighter strokes with subtle tension. Terminals often resolve into teardrop-like shapes, especially in lowercase, while capitals keep crisp wedges and confident, slightly condensed silhouettes. Numerals are sturdy and rounded, matching the bold texture and maintaining clear distinctions at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of copy where its strong texture and dynamic slant can carry the layout. It can add punch to branding and packaging, and works well for editorial display applications that want a classic-but-energized serif voice.
The overall tone is energetic and emphatic, combining a traditional serif foundation with a forward-leaning, action-oriented posture. Its chunky curves and flared details give it a dramatic, poster-ready presence while still feeling rooted in editorial typography.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif with a calligraphic underpinning and flared finishing that stays readable while projecting motion and authority. The consistent weight and rounded construction suggest an emphasis on impactful display typography over delicate, text-first refinement.
Spacing reads moderately tight in the sample text, producing a dense, high-impact color on the page. The italic construction feels integral rather than simply slanted, with curved strokes and terminals reinforcing the sense of motion and a slightly sporty cadence.
