A heavy, right-leaning italic with compact proportions and a lively, hand-brushed rhythm. Strokes are thick and mostly low-contrast, with stems that subtly widen into flared terminals and softly rounded corners rather than sharp slab endings. The letterforms feel slightly condensed and forward-driving, with tight apertures and sturdy bowls that keep counters clear at display sizes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same energetic slant and weight, giving the set a cohesive, headline-first texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel or sports identities, and bold brand marks where the italic motion and dense color can do the work. It can also serve packaging and promotional copy when set with generous spacing, but its heavy, animated forms are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, with a distinctly retro, sporty flavor. Its bold slant and swelling terminals create a sense of motion and informal confidence, reading as friendly and attention-grabbing rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, expressive display voice—combining a bold italic stance with flared stroke endings to evoke hand-painted signage and classic athletic or mid-century advertising typography.
The texture is intentionally irregular in a controlled way: curves and joins suggest brush or marker pressure, while terminals stay consistent in their flared finish. The italic angle is strong enough to be a defining feature, and the bold mass produces a dark, poster-like color in paragraphs.
