A very heavy, right-leaning serif with flared stroke endings and compact, sculpted counters. Strokes show a tapered, calligraphic energy: terminals often pinch to sharp points or wedge-like tips, while verticals and bowls stay broad and full. Curves are rounded and muscular, and the overall drawing favors chunky joins with subtle bracketing rather than crisp, delicate detailing. Letterfit appears tight and the forms create a dense, high-impact texture in words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short phrases where its dense weight and slanted rhythm can work as a graphic element. It can be effective for sports branding, energetic campaigns, packaging callouts, and event promotion materials that need immediate visibility. For longer copy, larger sizes and added spacing help maintain clarity.
The font reads loud and assertive, with a lively slant that feels fast and competitive. Its flared, wedge-like terminals and exaggerated weight give it a vintage, display-forward attitude—more headline punch than quiet refinement. The overall tone suggests bold motion and showmanship.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that merges traditional flare-ended details with a modern, athletic obliqueness. It prioritizes strong silhouette and momentum over small-size neutrality, aiming for attention-grabbing word shapes and a bold, poster-ready texture.
In running text the heavy weight and tight spacing quickly build a dark color, making it best when used at larger sizes or with generous tracking and leading. The numerals follow the same chunky, tapered logic, keeping a consistent, poster-like presence across alphanumerics.
