A heavy italic serif with strong forward slant and broad, compact letterforms. Strokes show subtle tapering and flared terminals that read as softened, bracketed serif endings rather than sharp hairlines, giving the shapes a carved, energetic feel. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is dense, with a pronounced diagonal stress in rounded forms. The lowercase includes a single-storey “a” and “g” and a prominent italic “f,” reinforcing a lively, display-oriented texture.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports and team branding, event promotions, packaging callouts, and editorial openers where an energetic italic presence is desired. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but the strong slant and dark typographic color make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and fast-moving, suggesting motion and impact. Its bold, slanted silhouette and flared finishing details evoke a retro athletic or headline voice—confident, slightly dramatic, and built to grab attention.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif cues with a modern, kinetic italic stance. By using flared, tapered terminals and compact, bold proportions, it aims to deliver a distinctive display voice that feels both vintage-referential and emphatically contemporary.
In text, the pronounced italic angle and dense spacing create a strong horizontal pull, which works best when given adequate line spacing. The numerals are weighty and rounded, matching the letters’ energetic, tapered construction and keeping a consistent, poster-like color on the page.
