A very heavy, right-leaning serif with a lively, brush-like construction and flared stroke endings. The forms are compact and muscular, with rounded joins, angled terminals, and pronounced wedge/bracketed serifs that often sweep forward, reinforcing motion. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, S), while diagonals and arms show sharp, tapered entries that suggest a broad-nib or sign-painting influence. Spacing feels tight and energetic, and the numerals share the same bold, sculpted rhythm with prominent curves and angled cuts.
Well suited for display settings where impact and motion are desirable: headlines, posters, sports and team-style identities, packaging, and bold logotypes. It can also work for short emphatic pull quotes or cover lines, but the weight and busy terminals make it less appropriate for long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone is fast, punchy, and vintage-leaning—evoking athletic branding, classic advertising, and headline-driven design. Its emphatic weight and italic slant give it an extroverted, attention-grabbing voice that reads as confident and slightly theatrical rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that combines traditional serif structure with dynamic, flared, sign-like terminals. Its priority is strong silhouette, speed, and personality, aiming to deliver instant emphasis and a vintage-advertising energy in branding and titling contexts.
Uppercase shapes maintain strong silhouette clarity, while lowercase introduces more cursive-like movement in letters such as a, f, g, and y. The italic is integral to the design (not an oblique feel), with terminals and serifs shaped to support forward flow. The bold massing makes it best when given room for counters and internal apertures to stay open.
