A heavy italic serif with flared terminals and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that give strokes a sculpted, tapering finish. The forms show a calligraphic slant with moderately modulated strokes, rounded bowls, and crisp inside counters. Capitals are broad and athletic with angled joins and strong diagonals, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact apertures and sturdy, slightly compressed curves. Numerals are weighty and slanted to match the text, with open, rounded shapes and pronounced terminals that keep the set cohesive in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding where a strong italic voice is needed. It can work well for sports identity, retro-inspired packaging, and editorial display typography that benefits from bold word shapes and energetic slant.
The overall tone feels energetic and confident, combining vintage editorial flair with a sporty, forward-leaning motion. Its bold, flared endings and italic momentum create a punchy presence that reads as both classic and action-oriented rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif that bridges traditional flared finishing with a contemporary, athletic rhythm, prioritizing presence and motion in display settings.
The italic construction is emphasized by sharp entry/exit strokes on letters like a, f, r, and y, and by the lively curvature of S and Q. Spacing appears designed for impact, with dense color and strong word shapes that favor headlines over long, small-size reading.
