A bold, right-slanted serif with flared stroke endings and compact, energetic letterforms. Stems swell subtly into terminals, producing wedge-like, bracketed serifs and tapered joins that feel calligraphically informed rather than mechanical. Counters are moderately open and the curves are slightly squared at transitions, giving a firm, punchy texture in text. The uppercase has strong presence with broad silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with a normal x-height and crisp, angled terminals; figures follow the same forward-leaning, weighty construction.
This face is well suited to headlines, subheads, and short bursts of copy where strong texture and forward motion are desirable. It can add character to posters, packaging, and branding—especially in contexts that want a vintage-meets-athletic voice—while remaining legible enough for larger-size editorial callouts and pull quotes.
The overall tone is confident and fast, combining a classic newspaper/advertising flavor with a sporty, headline-ready slant. Its thick strokes and sharp, flared finishing details create a sense of impact and motion, reading as bold and purposeful rather than delicate or formal.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctly italic, flared-serif personality—pairing a traditional serif foundation with sharpened terminals and swelling stems to create speed, emphasis, and a distinctive display presence.
The design shows consistent diagonal stress and a tight, high-contrast-of-direction feel created by the italic angle and tapered endings, which helps large sizes look lively while keeping text blocks visually unified. The punctuation and numerals appear built for emphasis, matching the heavy color and energetic slant of the letters.
