A very heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that broaden from the stems. The forms are wide and sturdy, with compact counters and a crisp, chiseled edge quality where curves meet straights, giving several joins a slightly notched feel. Stroke endings often taper into sharp points or wedges, and the overall rhythm is punchy and high-contrast in silhouette despite fairly even internal stroke color. Lowercase features single-storey shapes (notably the a and g) and a robust, rounded construction that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Best suited to large-size applications where its flared serifs and compact counters can read clearly—headlines, posters, sports or team-style branding, and bold packaging fronts. It can also work for short editorial display lines or pull quotes where a strong, energetic voice is desired.
The font conveys a confident, high-impact tone with a vintage flavor—part collegiate, part mid‑century display. Its italic slant and flared serifs add motion and drama, making it feel energetic and emphatic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic, italicized stance and distinctive flared serif endings, combining classic serif cues with a bold, contemporary display presence.
Spacing and shapes favor bold headline setting: apertures are relatively tight and the serif flare creates a strong horizontal bite at the baseline and cap line. Numerals are equally weighty and wide, matching the letterforms for consistent, poster-like emphasis.
