A very heavy, right-leaning serif with flared stroke endings and wedge-like cuts that create a chiseled, athletic texture. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thick main stems and slimmer joins, while serifs are compact and sharply bracketed rather than slabby. Many letters feature small triangular notches and scooped joins that sharpen counters and add snap to the silhouette. The lowercase has a large, sturdy body with tight apertures and compact spacing, producing a dense, high-ink rhythm that stays clear at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports identities, and bold packaging where the flared details and notched joins can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial display settings like section openers, pull quotes, and promo graphics where a dense, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a vintage headline feel that recalls classic sports and editorial display typography. Its aggressive angles and hefty forms read confident and attention-grabbing, while the italic slant adds motion and urgency.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a vigorous, italicized stance, combining traditional serif structure with flared, sharpened terminals for a contemporary, competitive edge. The notched joins and wedge cuts seem intended to preserve letter distinction at heavy weights while adding a signature, graphic bite.
Round characters (like O/Q and 8/9) remain strongly oval and weighty, with counters kept relatively small for impact. Diacritics aren’t shown, and the sample emphasizes how the dark color and angled emphasis create a distinctive, poster-ready word shape.
