A heavy italic serif with energetic, sculpted strokes and distinctly flared terminals that read like wedge serifs. The forms are broad and compact, with rounded bowls, generous counters, and a strong rightward slant that creates forward motion. Stems often swell into the endings, and several joins show small ink-trap-like notches that sharpen the silhouette at display sizes. Curves are smooth and muscular rather than delicate, and the overall rhythm is tight and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, and prominent brand moments where its weight and slant can carry the composition. It also works well for sporty identities, packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from an assertive, kinetic voice; for longer text, it’s most effective in short bursts like pull quotes or subheads.
The font projects a bold, competitive tone—confident and attention-grabbing with a retro-leaning, sporty attitude. Its italic drive and flared endings give it a sense of speed and impact that feels suited to headlines and branding where immediacy matters.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a bold serif with the momentum of an italic, using flared terminals and subtle notches to keep heavy shapes crisp and lively. Its broad set and consistent stroke behavior aim to maximize impact and legibility in large-scale, high-contrast layouts.
Capitals are tall and commanding with simplified, sturdy construction, while lowercase stays readable through open apertures and rounded counters despite the weight. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly broad proportions and punchy curves, supporting strong, uniform color in text lines.
