A robust italic serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and subtly flared terminals that broaden at stroke ends. Strokes read as largely even in weight, with gentle modulation that follows a right-leaning, sheared stress. The forms are broad-shouldered and tightly joined, with compact counters and energetic diagonals; curves are firm rather than delicate, and the overall texture is dark and steady. Uppercase shapes are slightly condensed and strongly slanted, while the lowercase maintains a tall, sturdy silhouette that keeps word shapes compact and continuous.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where emphasis and personality are desired—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, posters, and brand messaging. The dark, steady color and strong italic rhythm make it effective for sports, lifestyle, and editorial applications, and for packaging or display where a confident serif voice is needed.
The font projects a punchy, confident tone with a classic editorial flavor. Its assertive slant and heavy presence suggest motion and emphasis, lending a sporty urgency while still feeling rooted in traditional serif typography. Overall it feels energetic, direct, and authoritative.
Likely designed as a high-impact italic serif for display use, combining traditional serif construction with flared, wedge-like detailing to create strong emphasis and a distinctive texture. The intent appears to balance classic familiarity with a more energetic, forward-driven stance.
Serif detailing is crisp and angular, with noticeable wedge/bracket transitions that keep joins strong and help the italic maintain a cohesive rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry the same firm, forward-leaning stance, supporting emphatic settings such as headlines or callouts.
