A heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals and softly bracketed serif connections. Strokes show a calligraphic logic: thick verticals and diagonals are paired with slimmer connecting strokes, producing a steady, medium-contrast rhythm. Counters are compact and slightly teardrop-shaped in places, and curves finish with energetic, tapered endings. The lowercase is compact with a moderately tall feel, while capitals are broad and assertive; numerals follow the same slanted, weighty construction with curved spurs and lively top and bottom terminals.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and campaign graphics where a strong, angled voice is desirable. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts, especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a vintage editorial flavor. Its strong slant and chunky serifs add motion and drama, suggesting classic sports headlines, punchy promotions, and expressive display typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, kinetic italic serif for high-impact communication, combining traditional serif cues with flared, tapered endings to create a distinctive, sporty-editorial presence.
Letterforms maintain consistent slant and terminal treatment across cases and figures, giving the set a cohesive, poster-ready texture. The dense color and tight internal shapes favor larger sizes where the flared endings and bracketed details can read clearly.
