A heavy, forward-leaning serif with broad proportions and tightly controlled counters. Strokes stay largely monoline, while terminals and joins flare subtly, giving letters a sculpted, wedge-like finish rather than blunt cuts. Curves are generously rounded and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with closed apertures and sturdy bowls that hold up well at large sizes. Figures are bold and blocky, matching the letters’ mass and maintaining a consistent, slightly condensed internal spacing.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its mass and slant can do the work—posters, sports branding, event graphics, packaging, and bold signage. It also performs well for punchy subheads or callouts where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable.
The tone feels energetic and confident, with a distinctly retro, sports-and-poster flavor. Its slanted stance and flared endings add motion and swagger, producing an upbeat, attention-grabbing voice that reads as bold and competitive rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that combines a sporty italic attitude with flared, sculpted terminals for extra character. It prioritizes bold presence and momentum in large-scale typography while preserving a consistent, sturdy silhouette across letters and figures.
The strong inclination and broad set create a pronounced horizontal presence, especially in all-caps. The flare at stroke ends adds visual texture and differentiation between similar shapes without relying on contrast, keeping the design cohesive and impactful.
