A robust, right-leaning serif with flared stroke endings and a low-contrast, ink-trap–free construction. The design shows broad proportions and sturdy, slightly tapered stems that open into wedge-like terminals, giving serifs a carved, energetic feel rather than hairline precision. Curves are full and smooth, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is punchy, with a forward slant that keeps the texture lively in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and caps share the same muscular, slanted stance, with angled joins and prominent, sculpted terminals that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for attention-forward settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports or event branding, packaging, and editorial display. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where a bold italic voice is needed without the fragility of high-contrast serifs.
The tone is assertive and kinetic—more about momentum and impact than quiet refinement. Its flared serifs and italic posture evoke classic sports and headline typography, with a slightly nostalgic, print-forward character that still feels clean and controlled.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong italic voice with traditional serif cues, using flared terminals and broad shapes to maximize impact and maintain clarity in large-format text. It balances vintage, headline-inspired energy with a relatively clean, contemporary drawing style.
The lowercase shows a sturdy, legible build with clear differentiation between forms, while the uppercase maintains a strong, poster-like silhouette. The slant is consistent across letters and figures, helping lines of text feel unified and fast-moving even at larger sizes.
