A strongly slanted serif with punchy, sculpted letterforms and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Stems and joins feel carved, with flared terminals and rounded, bracketed serifs that often sweep into short wedge-like endings. Counters are compact and the overall color is dense, while curves show teardrop/ball-like terminals and occasional notch-like ink-trap behavior at tight joins. The rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in width, producing a lively, display-forward texture across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for large-scale settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its dense color and sharp contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of editorial display text or pull quotes, but will feel most at home when used as an attention-grabbing accent rather than for long reading.
The tone reads bold and theatrical, with a retro, headline-centric swagger. Its slanted, calligraphic energy suggests motion and confidence, balancing elegance with a sports-poster directness.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, nostalgic display voice by combining flared, serifed structure with italic momentum and calligraphic detailing. It prioritizes impact and character, aiming for a distinctive, high-energy presence in titles and logos.
Uppercase forms are robust and blocky with softened, flared feet, while lowercase shows more flourish in terminals (notably in forms like a, f, g, and y). Numerals are heavy and curvy, designed to stand out rather than disappear into text.
