A compact serif with strongly tapered, flared stroke endings that read like wedge serifs, paired with an overall oblique stance. The heavy, low-contrast strokes and tight proportions create a dense rhythm, while curved joins and modest bracketing soften transitions. Counters are relatively small and forms are sturdy, with rounded bowls and assertive terminals that keep the texture dark and continuous in text.
It performs best in display contexts where its dense color and flared endings can read clearly—such as headlines, magazine spreads, posters, and packaging. It can also support punchy branding or sports-inspired graphics when used at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The font conveys a bold, headline-forward attitude with a slightly vintage, print-era flavor. Its slanted posture and flared finishing give it a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel confident and attention-seeking rather than quiet or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver an impactful, slanted serif voice that combines traditional cues (serifs and bracketing) with a more forceful, contemporary display weight. The flared terminals and compact build prioritize emphasis and a distinctive silhouette in short lines of text.
Uppercase shapes feel built for impact, with broad shoulders and strong vertical presence, while the lowercase maintains the same muscular weight and oblique flow for consistent color across lines. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly weighty construction and pronounced finishing, supporting cohesive display typography.
