A robust italic serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and compact, sculpted counters. Strokes stay largely even with only subtle modulation, while stems and joins broaden into tapered endings that read as soft wedges rather than crisp hairline serifs. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, creating a forward-leaning rhythm; curves are generous and slightly squarish in places, helping the shapes feel sturdy. Uppercase forms are wide and assertive with rounded bowls, and the numerals follow the same chunky, flared construction for strong headline presence.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and brand marks where the strong slant and flared terminals can do the work of expression. It’s effective for posters, packaging, and sports or event graphics that need speed and impact, and it can also serve as an emphatic typographic accent in editorial layouts when used sparingly.
The overall tone is energetic and self-assured, with a sporty, vintage-adjacent flavor that feels at home in bold statements. Its forward slant and flared endings add motion and drama without becoming delicate or formal, giving it a confident, attention-seeking voice.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a serif with the momentum of a strong italic, using flared terminals and sturdy proportions to stay powerful at large sizes. The emphasis is on expressive, high-impact reading rather than quiet neutrality.
Letterfit appears relatively tight for a display style, and the bold punctuation and strong diagonals contribute to a punchy texture in lines of text. The italic construction reads as a true designed italic rather than a simple oblique, with distinct shapes and lively terminals.
