A very heavy, strongly slanted serif with flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. Forms are compact and muscular, with rounded counters and softened corners that keep the weight from feeling brittle. Curves (C, G, S, 0–9) are full and smooth, while diagonals and joins show a slightly sheared, forward-leaning rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy with a normal x-height and large, dark bowls; dots and terminals are blunt and substantial, reinforcing the solid, poster-like color on the page.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: posters, big headlines, sports or event branding, and energetic packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, especially when the goal is a dense, attention-grabbing typographic voice.
The overall tone is bold and driven, combining a sporty, vintage advertising feel with a confident, forward motion from the italic slant. It reads as friendly but forceful—more “headline shout” than quiet sophistication—suggesting action, urgency, and upbeat momentum.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with a classic serif foundation, using flared terminals and a strong italic slant to add speed and personality. It prioritizes bold texture, punchy silhouettes, and a cohesive, athletic rhythm for display-driven communication.
The weight and flared endings create pronounced ink-trap-like dark spots at some joins, giving the texture a lively, slightly compressed sparkle in longer lines. Numerals are wide and robust, matching the letters’ heavy curves and maintaining consistent color for display settings.
