A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and broadly rounded bowls. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with subtle swelling into the ends that creates a chiseled, poster-like silhouette rather than delicate bracketed serifs. The forms are compact and tightly packed with energetic curves, angled joins, and occasional notch-like ink-trap cut-ins that sharpen counters and improve clarity at bold sizes. Uppercase feels sturdy and blocky while the lowercase is punchy and slightly condensed in places, keeping a strong forward rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its dense color and flared terminals can read clearly—headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging statements. In editorial layouts it works well for large-size display moments such as section openers, pull quotes, and cover lines where a dynamic, retro-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, with a sporty, retro display flavor. Its forward slant and flared endings give it a sense of speed and impact, making it feel confident, attention-grabbing, and a bit playful without becoming whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch at display sizes while retaining serif identity through flared, wedge-like endings. Its compact proportions, forward slant, and sturdy curves prioritize momentum and visibility, aiming for a distinctive, athletic headline presence rather than quiet text neutrality.
Round characters (O, Q, 8, 9) read as substantial and tightly enclosed, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and forceful. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and stance, maintaining the same dense color and angled stress across mixed settings.
