A heavy, right-leaning serif with prominent flared and wedge-like terminals that give strokes a sculpted, chiseled feel. The letterforms are compact and tightly set, with rounded bowls and strong, blocky verticals that broaden into energetic serif endings. Curves show a slightly calligraphic stress, while joins and counters stay relatively open for the weight, helping maintain clarity in dense settings. Numerals and capitals carry a sturdy, display-forward build, and the lowercase maintains a tall, prominent presence with short ascenders/descenders relative to its x-height.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where strong voice and presence are desired—such as sports branding, event promotions, packaging callouts, and magazine or newspaper lead-ins. It can work in brief paragraphs, but its dense color and pronounced terminals will feel most comfortable at display sizes or with generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone feels bold and athletic, with a vintage, poster-like confidence. Its slanted stance and flared finishing strokes create motion and impact, suggesting speed, emphasis, and a classic editorial or sports-headline attitude.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact through a bold italic silhouette while retaining serif structure and readability. The flared terminals and compact proportions appear intended to add character and momentum, positioning it as a contemporary take on vintage headline and advertising serifs.
The rhythm is driven by large dark shapes and decisive terminals, producing strong texture in paragraphs. The italic angle is consistent and readable, and the wedge serifs help differentiate similar forms (like E/F/T and n/m) when set at larger sizes.
