A very heavy, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and flared, bracketed stroke endings. The design shows broad proportions and a muscular rhythm, with wedge-like serifs and terminals that feel sculpted rather than mechanically flat. Curves are full and rounded, counters stay open, and joins are crisp, creating a punchy silhouette that remains legible at large sizes. The lowercase has a traditional serif structure with a compact, sturdy feel, while the numerals are bold and display-oriented with strong diagonals and clear differentiation.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short blocks of copy where the dramatic weight and slanted energy can lead the layout. It works well for sports and entertainment branding, promotional posters, packaging, and editorial display typography that benefits from a bold, classic-leaning presence.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, mixing classic editorial seriousness with a sporty, poster-like punch. Its italic slant and flared detailing add momentum and a slightly retro, headline-driven flavor.
This font appears intended as a high-impact display serif that combines traditional serif forms with flared, energetic stroke endings and a fast italic posture. The goal seems to be strong visibility and personality, with enough structure to stay readable while projecting confident, headline-level emphasis.
Stroke modulation is especially noticeable in diagonals and curved letters, producing a lively texture in continuous text. The serif treatment and tapered terminals give the face a refined edge despite its substantial weight, making it read as intentional and designed for impact rather than neutrality.
