A heavy italic slab serif with broad, blocky serifs and a compact, sculpted build. Strokes stay largely even, with a strong horizontal emphasis and firm, squared terminals that keep the silhouettes crisp at display sizes. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, and the letterforms feel tightly engineered: bowls are rounded but substantial, counters are relatively small, and joins are sturdy. Serifs appear thick and supportive, often with subtle bracketing that softens the slab edges without losing the square, punchy footprint.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short text where its strong texture and italic momentum can carry a layout. It works well for branding, packaging, and promotional design that benefits from a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab voice, and it can also fit sports or collegiate-style identity systems when used at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a classic, workmanlike confidence. Its strong slabbing and forward slant give it a sporty, poster-ready character that can read as vintage editorial or collegiate without feeling delicate or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, sturdy italic slab structure—combining clear, blocky serifs with a forward-leaning stance for emphasis and motion. It aims for high visual authority and strong word shapes in display settings.
Capitals show wide, stable tops and bottoms with strong serif presence, while lowercase maintains a compact rhythm that keeps words dense and impactful. Numerals are similarly weighty and built for emphasis, matching the letterforms’ firm, no-nonsense texture.
