A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, flat-ended serifs. Strokes stay largely even in weight, producing a dense, poster-friendly color, while the italic construction gives letters a forward-leaning rhythm and dynamic word shapes. Terminals and serifs read as squared-off slabs with subtle rounding and occasional notch-like cuts that add crispness at joins. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with a single-storey a and g, a broad, low-contrast o, and a lively, slightly condensed joining logic that keeps text cohesive at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, energetic voice is needed and the italic angle can reinforce motion or urgency. It also works well for short editorial callouts, cover lines, and packaging labels where the strong slabs and wide set can command attention.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a sporty, vintage-leaning flavor reminiscent of classic advertising and headline typography. The strong slabs and forward slant suggest motion and impact, while the rounded details keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as an impact-focused italic slab for display use, combining sturdy, squared slab terminals with a fast, forward slant. Its broad proportions and even stroke weight prioritize presence and clarity in large sizes while keeping a distinctive, retro-tinged personality.
The wide set and heavy serifs create pronounced horizontal emphasis, especially in caps like E, F, T, and Z, giving lines a strong baseline and top-line structure. Numerals match the letterweight and stance, with rounded curves and firm slab terminals that maintain consistency in display settings.
