A forward-leaning serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and subtly flared, bracketed terminals that give the shapes a carved, athletic feel. The letterforms are wide and compactly packed, with rounded bowls and diagonally sharpened joins that create a fast, slanted rhythm. Curves are smooth and firm rather than delicate, and the overall texture stays dense and even in paragraph-like settings. Numerals and capitals share the same assertive stance, with crisp angled endings and consistent, weighty proportions.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, and branding where the slanted, flared shapes can project speed and authority. It also works well for sports-themed identities, product packaging, and editorial display applications that benefit from a dense, energetic typographic color.
The tone is energetic and assertive, combining a retro sports flavor with a modern, high-impact presence. Its strong slant and flared endings suggest motion and confidence, making it feel bold in spirit and attention-grabbing without relying on high contrast.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic display voice with a distinctly flared serif character, balancing classic serif cues with a dynamic, contemporary slant. Its proportions and strong terminals prioritize immediacy and recognizability at larger sizes.
A noticeable wedge-and-flare motif repeats across terminals and cross-stroke endings, helping unify the set. The wide proportions and tight interior spaces can make the font feel heavier on the page, emphasizing impact over delicacy in longer lines.
