A sharp, forward-leaning display serif with compact, wedge-like serifs and pronounced flared terminals. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, while corners are cut with angular notches that read like small ink-traps, giving the outlines a faceted, carved look. The forms are slightly condensed in feel and rhythm, with energetic diagonals, tight counters, and a consistent rightward slant that makes the texture look fast and taut. Numerals and capitals match the same spurred, chiseled construction, keeping a uniform graphic color across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its spurred, high-impact shapes can be read at larger sizes. It works well for short bursts of text—titles, taglines, and display copy—where a dynamic, retro-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, blending a vintage headline sensibility with a sense of motion. Its sharp serifs and razor-edged joins evoke classic poster lettering and stylized editorial titling, while the slant adds urgency and punch.
The design appears intended as a high-energy display serif that feels fast and emphatic, using flared serifs and angular cut-ins to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture. The consistent slant and faceted detailing suggest an aim toward bold editorial or poster typography rather than continuous reading.
In longer samples the strong slant and frequent angular cuts create a lively, zig-zag baseline impression and a distinctive word-shape. The design favors striking silhouettes over quiet readability, especially where tight counters and pointed joins accumulate in dense text.
