A heavy, forward-leaning serif with compact proportions and a distinctly sculpted, flared finish on many stroke terminals. Stems and arms broaden into wedge-like endings, producing a carved, ink-aware silhouette with small notches and cut-ins at joins that read like subtle ink traps. Curves are full and round, counters stay open at this weight, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with slightly asymmetric details that keep the texture lively rather than strictly classical.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the heavy, slanted forms can deliver impact—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and editorial openers. It can also work for sports or event graphics where an energetic, punchy typographic voice is needed, and should be used with comfortable sizing and spacing in longer passages due to its dense weight and strong slant.
The tone is bold and energetic, combining a vintage print flavor with a contemporary, athletic punch. Its strong slant and chunky forms give it momentum and confidence, while the softened, flared terminals add warmth and approachability.
The design appears intended to fuse traditional serif structure with a modern, high-impact display sensibility. By pairing flared, wedge-like terminals with ink-aware cuts and rounded counters, it aims for strong presence, quick recognition, and a distinctive texture that stays legible at large sizes.
The uppercase feels sturdy and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains generous apertures and clear differentiation at this weight. Numerals are robust and highly graphic, matching the letters’ wedge-ended logic for cohesive headline color.
