A heavy, forward-leaning serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes show noticeable modulation with softened, swelling terminals and bracketed serifs that read as subtly flared rather than sharply cut. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and apertures are tightened, giving letters a dense, punchy silhouette; the rhythm is energetic, with slightly irregular widths and a lively, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where the dense weight and animated slant can carry impact. It works well for branding and packaging that want a retro-leaning, high-energy voice, and for sports or entertainment graphics where bold, confident typography is needed.
The tone is bold and energetic with a vintage, headline-driven character. Its slanted, swelling forms evoke classic sports and editorial typography, balancing authority with a touch of warmth from the rounded, flared endings.
The design appears intended to deliver strong display impact through mass, slant-driven motion, and softened flared detailing, creating a distinctive vintage-meets-modern headline tool.
Caps feel strong and blocky with generous bowl mass (notably in B, D, O, Q), while diagonals and arms maintain a springy, italic momentum. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and motion, keeping a cohesive, poster-ready color across mixed text.
