A bold, forward-leaning serif with flared stroke endings and a compact, punchy silhouette. Strokes show moderate contrast and a slightly sculpted, wedge-like logic where terminals broaden as they meet the baseline or cap line, giving many letters a carved, athletic feel. Curves are rounded but kept tight, while joins and corners often resolve into crisp angles; several forms show small notches and tapered connections that read like subtle ink-trap behavior at larger sizes. Proportions are on the broad side with sturdy counters, and the numerals match the letters in weight and stance for a consistent, headline-ready rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks where the flared terminals and italic energy can be appreciated. It can also work for punchy subheads, pull quotes, packaging, and sports or event graphics that benefit from a strong, dynamic typographic voice.
The overall tone is confident and kinetic, combining a vintage editorial flavor with a sporty, display-forward attitude. The italic slant and flared endings add urgency and motion, while the heavy weight keeps it grounded and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, italic emphasis with a distinctive flared-serif signature, balancing legibility with a stylized, energetic finish. Its broad proportions and confident weight suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display typography rather than quiet, text-first neutrality.
Capitals are especially strong and compact, with clear, poster-like presence; lowercase forms stay robust and open enough to remain recognizable at size. The texture in running text is dark and even, with pronounced emphasis from the italic angle and the widening terminals that create distinctive word shapes.
