A heavy, right-leaning serif with compact proportions and clearly flared, bracket-like stroke endings. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with broad, sculpted joins that create a muscular silhouette. Curves are rounded but tightly controlled, and many forms show angled terminals and sharp interior corners that add snap to the rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with single-story a and g, a compact e with a firm aperture, and a strong, forward-leaning stance across the set; figures are robust and high-impact, with pronounced curves and angled cuts.
This font performs best in display contexts such as headlines, posters, cover lines, and branding where its slanted, flared serif shapes can provide motion and authority. It can also work for short editorial callouts, packaging, and promotional graphics that benefit from a bold, high-contrast-in-impact (though not in stroke) texture.
The overall tone is energetic and emphatic, combining a traditional serif foundation with a distinctly modern, athletic slant. It reads as confident and punchy—well suited to messages that need urgency, momentum, or a competitive edge. The flared endings and tight, forceful shapes also give it a slightly retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to merge the emphasis and readability of a classic serif with the speed and attitude of an italic display style. Flared terminals and compact, powerful forms suggest a focus on branding and headlines that need to feel fast, strong, and memorable.
Spacing appears tuned for headline use: letterforms are dense and bold, and the italic angle creates strong directional flow in text. The uppercase maintains a consistent, assertive presence, while the lowercase and numerals keep the same sculpted terminal language for a cohesive texture.
