A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, flat-ended terminals and thick, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are built from sturdy, squared shapes with tight interior counters and minimal modulation, giving a compact, poster-like color on the page. Serifs read as chunky slabs rather than delicate brackets, and joins/corners show slightly carved or notched behavior that helps keep apertures from clogging at bold sizes. Figures are similarly weighty and compact, matching the dense rhythm of the capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to short, bold statements where impact and momentum matter—sports identities, team or club graphics, posters, and promotional headlines. It can work for packaging or label-style typography when a sturdy, retro voice is desired, but the dense counters and heavy weight make it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is confident and high-impact, with a vintage athletic and headline-forward feel. Its slanted, blocky construction suggests motion and urgency, lending a punchy, promotional character suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears aimed at delivering a forceful italic slab look that stays legible under heavy weight by relying on squared geometry, compact proportions, and subtle cut-ins around joins and counters. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and fast, energetic rhythm for display typography.
Spacing appears purposefully firm, producing a tight, energetic texture in text lines. The italic angle is consistent and strong, and the slab terminals maintain a crisp, squared silhouette that keeps the style recognizable at a glance.
