A heavy, forward-leaning serif with broad proportions and a sturdy, low-contrast stroke structure. Stems and joins stay thick and smooth, while stroke endings flare into sharp, wedge-like serifs that create a sculpted, slightly calligraphic edge. Counters are generally open and rounded, with compact, energetic curves and occasional notch-like transitions where strokes meet, adding crispness without becoming brittle. Overall spacing and forms read robust and headline-oriented, with a distinctly slanted texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent brand moments where a strong slanted serif can add momentum and character. It also fits packaging and identity work that benefits from a retro-leaning, high-impact voice, and can perform well in sports or entertainment contexts when paired with simpler supporting type.
The font projects an assertive, upbeat tone with a distinctly vintage flavor. Its angled stance and flared endings give it a sense of motion and showmanship, balancing classic serif cues with a punchy, contemporary display attitude.
The design appears intended as a bold display serif that combines classic wedge-serif cues with a dynamic slant for immediacy. By keeping contrast restrained and terminals flared, it aims to stay legible at large sizes while delivering a distinctive, energetic texture.
The numeral set matches the letterforms with broad silhouettes and sharp flares, staying consistent in weight and slant. In text, the dense strokes and energetic terminals create a strong typographic color that favors short-to-medium settings where impact and personality matter more than quiet neutrality.
