A very heavy italic serif with broad, rounded forms and distinctly flared stroke endings that read as soft, bracketed serifs rather than sharp terminals. The design keeps contrast modest, relying on mass and curvature for emphasis, with wedge-like entry/exit strokes and slightly bulbous joins that give letters a sculpted, athletic feel. Counters are compact and oval, curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and the slant is strong and consistent, producing a fast, forward rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a compact, looping e, and a long, sweeping f, while figures are bold and sturdy with prominent angled terminals.
Best suited to display applications where strong presence and motion are desirable—headlines, posters, sports-related branding, event graphics, and bold packaging. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but extended small-size text may feel tight due to the heavy weight and compact counters.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, combining vintage signage familiarity with a sporty, headline-first attitude. Its forward lean and chunky silhouettes project momentum and confidence, with a slightly playful bounce that keeps it from feeling formal.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with an energetic italic stance, pairing substantial weight with flared terminals to evoke a classic, sign-painter/sports-title sensibility while remaining clean and cohesive in modern layouts.
In text settings the tight interior spaces and heavy joins create dense color, so spacing and size will strongly influence clarity. The italic angle and flared endings are most visible in diagonals and curves, giving word shapes a distinctive, slanted profile.
