A heavy, right-slanted serif with flared, gently bracketed endings and rounded, sculpted joins. Strokes are broad and smoothly modulated, with thick verticals and softened transitions that create a cushioned, ink-rich color on the page. The uppercase is sturdy and compact, while the lowercase shows energetic shaping—single-storey forms for a and g, a diagonal crossbar on e, and a descending q with a curved tail—contributing to a lively rhythm. Numerals are weighty and rounded, matching the text tone and maintaining a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to short to medium-length display copy where its strong color and energetic slant can lead the hierarchy—headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, packaging callouts, and brand marks. It can also work for brief editorial subheads when set with sufficient tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and assured, with a retro, slightly playful energy. Its slanted stance and flared details add motion and warmth, evoking mid-century display typography and athletic or entertainment lettering without feeling overly decorative.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a warm, flared serif voice—combining classic serif structure with an emphatic, slanted display posture for attention-grabbing typography. The consistent heft and rounded shaping suggest an intention to feel approachable and energetic rather than formal or delicate.
Tight interior spaces and heavy joins mean it reads best when given generous size or spacing, especially in dense settings. The italic angle is substantial and consistent, helping headlines feel fast and expressive while keeping letterforms stable.
