A robust italic serif with flared, bracketed terminals and a strong rightward slant. Strokes are thick and generally low-contrast, with smooth joins and subtly swelling ends that give the outlines a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Counters are compact and rounded, and the overall rhythm is dense and energetic; capitals are broad and assertive while lowercase forms keep a steady, medium x-height with clearly differentiated shapes. Numerals follow the same hefty, slanted construction, reading clearly at display sizes with lively curvature and firm finishing strokes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, forceful italic voice is needed. It works well for sports-themed identity, product packaging, and editorial display typography, especially in short phrases where the energetic slant and flared terminals can carry the visual tone.
The tone is bold and punchy while still rooted in traditional serif cues, creating an editorial, headline-forward personality. It feels energetic and slightly sporty—more about impact and momentum than delicacy—yet maintains enough classic structure to stay credible and familiar.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more contemporary, high-impact italic silhouette. Its flared endings and dense texture suggest a goal of delivering strong display presence while retaining recognizable, readable letterforms.
Letterforms show a consistent flare at stroke endings and a pronounced oblique stress that helps words form a strong forward-leaning texture. The italic is integral rather than merely slanted, with curved entry/exit strokes and terminals that keep the silhouette active in running lines.
