This typeface is a heavy, right-slanted serif with visibly flared stroke endings and bracketed joins. Strokes show a modest contrast and a calligraphic feel, with wedges and tapering terminals that widen into the serifs rather than ending bluntly. The letterforms are broad and open, with rounded bowls and angled cuts that create crisp notches in counters and at joins. Lowercase features a single-storey “a” and “g”, a compact ear on “g”, and a short, hooked “f”, giving the text a compact, energetic texture despite the generous width.
It performs best in short to medium settings where its weight, slant, and flared endings can read as deliberate style—such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. The energetic texture also suits sports and promotional graphics where motion and emphasis are desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and forward-moving, combining a sporty punch with a slightly retro, headline-driven attitude. Its flared serifs and italic construction add a sense of motion and emphasis, lending text an assertive, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with an expressive, italicized, flared-stroke treatment for high-impact display typography. Its broad proportions and sculpted terminals aim to create strong presence while retaining a serif-led, editorial credibility.
Caps have strong, sculpted silhouettes with pronounced diagonal stress, while curves and terminals often finish in sharp wedges that help preserve clarity at large sizes. Numerals are sturdy and dynamic, with angled terminals and a lively rhythm that matches the letters.
