A vigorous italic serif with flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a tapered, sculpted finish. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, sturdy verticals, and rounded bowls, with moderate contrast that reads as ink-driven rather than mechanical. Curves are generous and continuous, while joins and crotches are kept tight, creating occasional ink-trap-like notches in dense areas. Spacing feels compact but even, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with capitals built on broad, slightly condensed silhouettes and lowercase forms that stay compact and robust.
Best suited to display-driven work where the italic energy and flared detailing can be appreciated: sports branding, event graphics, posters, cover lines, and packaging callouts. It also works well for logo wordmarks or short editorial headers where a confident, classic-leaning italic is desired.
The tone is assertive and fast-moving, combining a classic serif voice with a distinctly athletic, forward-leaning momentum. It suggests vintage sports typography and editorial emphasis—confident, punchy, and slightly nostalgic without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, emphatic typography with a traditional serif backbone, using flared endings and a pronounced slant to communicate speed and impact. It prioritizes bold presence and rhythmic motion over quiet text neutrality.
The numerals are heavy and rounded with strong diagonals (notably in 2, 4, and 7), matching the italic flow and maintaining clear silhouettes at display sizes. The lowercase shows familiar italic constructions (single-storey a and g) that reinforce a handwritten, performance-oriented feel while staying disciplined and uniform.
