A heavy, right-slanted serif with flared, wedge-like endings and compact, energetic letterforms. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic rhythm, with angled entry/exit terminals and subtly bracketed, tapered serifs that feel carved rather than flat. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly condensed in impression, while lowercase keeps a lively, slightly uneven texture with strong diagonals and rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same slanted, punchy construction with pronounced terminals and sturdy curves.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and short bursts of copy where the strong slant and flared serif details can be appreciated. It can also work for energetic editorial layouts, sports-related branding, and bold packaging or label typography where a confident, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and display-forward, combining a traditional serif voice with a sporty, poster-like urgency. It reads as confident and a bit retro, suggesting editorial headlines, team branding energy, or classic advertising without feeling overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif with high impact and motion, using flared terminals and calligraphic contrast to create distinctive, athletic-looking word shapes. It prioritizes bold presence and character in display settings while remaining coherent enough for short text passages.
The italic slant is a core part of the design, giving text a forward motion and making word shapes feel tightly knit. The flared endings and wedge serifs create strong silhouettes at large sizes, while the dense stroke weight produces a dark typographic color in paragraphs.
