A heavy, forward-leaning serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and tightly bracketed serifs that give the outlines a carved, tapered feel. Strokes show subtle modulation, with round letters staying full and compact while joins and corners sharpen into crisp wedges. The italic construction is energetic and slightly compressed in places, with lively curves and occasional swelling at terminals that adds motion without becoming script-like. Numerals are sturdy and open, matching the same flared, angled finishing and strong baseline presence.
Best suited to display settings where the energetic italic stance and flared detailing can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, sports and event branding, packaging, and editorial feature titles. It can also work for short pulls, deck lines, and large-size emphasis where a compact, forceful serif italic is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-moving, blending a traditional serif foundation with a distinctly athletic, editorial punch. It reads as bold and confident, with a slightly vintage, headline-oriented character driven by the flared endings and vigorous italic slant.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact italic serif with flared, tapered finishing—combining classic serif cues with a more contemporary, action-oriented rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
The forms emphasize strong diagonals and tapered endings, which helps create a rhythmic, “in-motion” texture in words. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes, while the italic angle and swelling terminals create a textured, high-impact word image.
