A very heavy, right-leaning serif with compact internal counters and broad, rounded forms. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, while terminals and joins subtly flare and widen, creating wedge-like endings and a slightly carved, ink-trap-like feel in tight corners. The letterforms are wide and stable with a strong horizontal presence; curves are full and smooth, and diagonals are assertive. Lowercase shows sturdy bowls and short ascenders, with a single-storey a and g and a robust, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited for headlines and short, emphatic copy where its weight and slant can do the work—posters, sports or team branding, event graphics, packaging, and identity marks. It can also function for large pull quotes or section titles, but the dense counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a vintage athletic and headline-driven personality. Its flared endings and forward slant add motion and confidence, giving it a spirited, slightly nostalgic display character that still reads as clean and modern enough for branding.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a dynamic, forward-leaning stance and distinctive flared serif endings. The intention seems to blend classic serif cues with a chunky, athletic display rhythm that remains highly legible at large sizes.
The design’s tight apertures and dense counters emphasize weight and impact, especially in smaller sizes. Uppercase forms appear particularly blocky and monumental, while the lowercase keeps a friendly roundness; the numerals match the same heavy, sporty rhythm.
