A heavy, right-leaning serif with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes show clear modulation and a brisk, brush-like rhythm, with stems that subtly widen toward terminals and serifs that feel more flared and sculpted than sharply hairlined. Joins are soft and rounded, and many letters end in curved, slightly upturned or tapered terminals that create a lively texture. The lowercase is sturdy with a straightforward, readable build, while the caps are blocky and emphatic; figures are bold and open, suited to display sizing.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as headlines, covers, posters, and brand marks where its strong slant and flared serif endings can carry a message. It can also work for short editorial callouts, pull quotes, and packaging labels that benefit from a bold, vintage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, combining a classic, old-style sensibility with a more energetic, poster-like italic drive. It reads as bold and action-oriented, with a slightly nostalgic flavor that suggests headlines, sports, or mid-century editorial typography.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with an italicized, energetic silhouette, pairing robust weight with flared, sculptural terminals to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture. The intent appears to balance traditional serif cues with a more dynamic, sporty display character.
The letterforms maintain a consistent forward momentum, with diagonal stress cues and generous, rounded shaping that keeps the weight from feeling brittle. Tight apertures and thick joins contribute to a dense color on the page, making the font feel strongest when given room to breathe and set at larger sizes.
