A right-leaning serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a calligraphic, wedge-like construction. Stems and arms broaden into flared terminals and bracketed serifs, creating sharp, triangular endings and a lively edge. Counters are moderately open, with compact internal spaces in letters like a, e, and s, while capitals show strong diagonals and tapered joins. The rhythm is energetic and forward-moving, with tight, punchy forms that read best at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its contrast and flared details can stay crisp. It can work well in sports and entertainment branding, magazine cover lines, event posters, and packaging that benefits from an energetic, classic-leaning italic serif.
The overall tone feels bold and theatrical, mixing traditional serif cues with a fast, competitive slant. Its sharp terminals and sweeping diagonals suggest motion and intensity, giving it a confident, headline-driven personality with a slightly vintage, poster-like flavor.
Likely designed to deliver a forceful, high-impact italic serif with flared stroke endings—combining traditional serif authority with a sense of speed and showmanship for display typography.
The figures share the same italic momentum and high-contrast structure, with angled stress and pointed details that keep numerals visually consistent with the letters. Uppercase forms are especially emphatic, while lowercase maintains a compact, sturdy texture that can look dense in long passages.
