A heavy italic serif with flared, bracketed terminals and a lively forward slant. Strokes are strongly weighted with moderate contrast and soft rounding at joins, giving counters a slightly pinched, sculpted feel. The proportions read broad and sturdy, with compact apertures in letters like C/S and a pronounced, curved tail on Q; uppercase forms are assertive and slightly condensed in their internal space. Lowercase is built for impact, with a tall x-height, single-storey a, a looped g, and a pronounced, right-leaning rhythm; figures are chunky and simplified, matching the overall mass and slant.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where its italic momentum and flared serifs can carry a strong voice. It works well for packaging, event graphics, and sports or lifestyle identities that want a retro-energetic punch. Use with generous tracking or at larger sizes for optimal clarity in longer phrases.
The tone is bold and kinetic—more extroverted than formal—suggesting motion, impact, and a touch of vintage display personality. Its flared endings and rounded heft feel sporty and emphatic, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that blends athletic italic energy with classic flared serif cues. It prioritizes punchy silhouettes, strong rhythm, and a cohesive dark texture for short, attention-forward messages.
In text settings the dark color and tight internal spaces create a strong “inked” texture, especially in dense lines. The italic angle and flared terminals help keep word shapes lively, but the weight and compact apertures favor larger sizes where details and counters can breathe.
