A heavy, right-leaning serif with broad proportions and energetic, flared terminals. Strokes are strongly weighty with minimal contrast, and the serif treatment reads as short, bracketed, and often wedge-like, giving stems a tapered, muscular finish. Curves are full and rounded with relatively tight counters, while joins and terminals show a subtly cut, ink-trap-like shaping that helps forms stay open at bold sizes. The overall rhythm is compact and dense, with a consistent forward slant across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale display work where its weight, slant, and flared terminals can carry personality—such as headlines, posters, sports or team-style branding, promotional graphics, and packaging. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where an assertive, retro-leaning emphasis is desired.
The tone is bold and upbeat, mixing a vintage sporting attitude with a slightly playful, advertising-ready punch. Its slant and flared endings create a sense of motion and assertiveness, making the texture feel loud, confident, and attention-seeking rather than refined or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance, using flared serif endings to add character while keeping the letterforms bold and highly legible at display sizes.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and blocky with softened corners, while the lowercase maintains clear, simple constructions and a steady baseline despite the italic stress. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to hold their shape in impact-driven settings. The combination of dense counters and flared endings creates a distinctive silhouette that stands out quickly in a line of text.
