A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. The letters show a strong forward slant and a tight, punchy rhythm, with compact internal counters and blunt, confident joins. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C/G/O/Q), while diagonals and arms taper into sharp, angled tips, producing a lively mix of smooth bowls and crisp edges. Figures are bold and robust, with simple, high-impact shapes designed to hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and short, emphatic statements where its weight and slant can create momentum. It also fits packaging, event promotion, and sports or entertainment branding where a strong, dynamic voice is needed; for longer text, it works most comfortably at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, suggesting speed and emphasis rather than restraint. Its chunky massing and aggressive italic angle read as promotional and attention-seeking, with a slightly retro, headline-driven energy.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a serif with the urgency of a bold italic, using flared terminals and sharp tapering to amplify impact. Its simplified, muscular shapes prioritize immediacy and legibility in display settings while preserving a distinctive, energetic personality.
The uppercase has a commanding, poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains the same weight and slant with sturdy, compact forms; the single-storey-style shapes and simplified detailing keep the texture bold and uniform. The flared terminals and angled cuts create a consistent “thrust” across words, making the line feel continuously in motion.
