A heavy, right-leaning serif with energetic, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings. The letterforms mix broad, rounded bowls with crisp, angled joins, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly compact feel at the apertures. Serifs read as tapered and bracketed rather than blocky, and counters stay relatively open for such a dark color. Numerals and capitals show strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike structure with an oblique, forward-driving stance.
Well suited for large-size display settings such as headlines, posters, and punchy brand marks where an italic, high-impact serif can carry personality. It also fits packaging, badges, and sports or event graphics that benefit from a dynamic, vintage-leaning tone.
The font projects a bold, athletic confidence with a distinctly retro advertising flavor. Its forward slant and sharp terminals add urgency and motion, making text feel assertive and attention-seeking rather than quiet or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic serif base, using flare, taper, and an oblique stance to create motion and a bold, promotional voice. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and rhythmic emphasis for display typography.
Stroke modulation is noticeable without becoming delicate, with flare and taper doing much of the stylistic work at endings and junctions. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, best where a strong silhouette and italic momentum are desirable.
