A heavy, display-oriented roman with sculpted, flared terminals and conspicuous contrast between thick strokes and hairline-like horizontals. Many joins are subtly bracketed, giving the shapes a carved, slightly serif-like finish even though the overall construction reads as a sans. Round letters are wide and weighty with compact counters, while horizontals and crossbars often taper sharply into wedges, creating a dynamic rhythm across words. The lowercase is sturdy and upright with round dots, a single-storey “a,” and generally blocky proportions that keep text color dense and uniform in headlines.
Best suited to headlines and short-form settings where its dense color and sharp contrast can read as intentional personality rather than texture noise. It works well for posters, sports or team-style branding, packaging, and logo lockups that benefit from wide, emphatic letterforms and punchy terminals.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a distinctly retro, poster-like presence. Its flared terminals and wedge cuts add a sporty, assertive feel that can swing between playful and authoritative depending on layout and spacing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact at large sizes by combining wide, sturdy forms with tapered, flared endings that add motion and distinction. Its sculpted details suggest a goal of standing out in branding and editorial display contexts while maintaining an upright, straightforward skeleton.
The figures are stylized and highly display-driven: several digits use long, sweeping horizontals and pointed terminals, and the “0” is a wide oval with a tight inner counter. The uppercase set favors broad silhouettes (notably in C, G, O, Q) and sharp, triangular treatments on diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z), which reinforces a strong, graphic texture.
