A heavy, right-leaning serif with rounded, bracketed serifs and prominent ball-like terminals on several forms. Strokes are thick and confidently modeled, with a moderate contrast that shows most clearly in curved letters and the numerals. The italic construction is strongly sheared, with soft joins and slightly tapered terminals that give the contours a smooth, sculpted feel. Counters are compact and shapes are robust, producing a dense, high-impact texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where a forceful, characterful italic is desired—such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and branded messaging. It can also work for packaging and identity systems that want a classic, spirited serif voice with strong emphasis.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a vintage, athletic flavor reminiscent of classic editorial and sports branding. Its strong slant and bulbous terminals add motion and personality, making text feel punchy and emphatic rather than quiet or purely bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic italic serif for attention-grabbing typography, combining traditional serif cues with rounded terminals and a pronounced slant to create a distinctive, high-energy display texture.
Uppercase characters read as sturdy and formal, while the lowercase introduces more bounce through rounded endings and lively curves. Numerals match the same weight and slant, maintaining a cohesive, display-oriented rhythm across mixed text.
