A heavy, right-leaning serif with flared stroke endings and a sturdy, compact build. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with subtle modulation and angled cuts that create sharp, wedge-like terminals rather than long hairline serifs. Counters are relatively tight and many forms feel slightly compressed, producing a dense, punchy texture. The lowercase shows single-story shapes where expected and maintains a consistent slant, while the numerals are robust and round-shouldered with prominent curves and short, decisive terminals.
Best suited to display applications where a strong voice is needed—headlines, posters, branding marks, sports or event graphics, and packaging callouts. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section headers, especially when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a vintage-leaning, athletic flavor. Its slanted rhythm and flared endings read as fast, confident, and a bit dramatic, making it feel at home in headline-driven, impact-first settings.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif cues with a fast, contemporary slant and flared terminals, prioritizing impact and momentum over quiet readability. Its compact proportions and decisive terminals suggest a goal of delivering a bold, branded presence in display typography.
In longer lines the dense color and tight apertures create strong emphasis and momentum, but can feel heavy at small sizes. The uppercase has a solid, sign-like presence, while the lowercase and figures keep the same assertive voice through consistently angled details and compact spacing.
