A heavy italic serif with broad, slab-like serifs and sturdy, compact letterforms. The strokes are largely even in weight, with thickened joints and bracketed transitions that create a solid, planted feel rather than a delicate calligraphic one. Curves are generous and round (notably in C, O, and Q), while diagonals in V, W, and X remain dense and punchy. The italic slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the numerals follow the same robust, slightly condensed rhythm with flat, strong terminals.
This font is well suited to display typography such as headlines, subheads, posters, and promotional graphics where a strong italic voice is needed. It also fits sports and collegiate-style branding, labels and packaging, and editorial pull quotes where a bold, traditional serif texture can carry the message.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a familiar, traditional voice that reads as athletic and headline-ready. Its strong serifs and forward lean add urgency and confidence, lending it a slightly collegiate, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic serif with slab-like authority: stable, attention-grabbing shapes that maintain an even, dark color in setting. Its construction prioritizes impact and familiarity over delicacy, aiming for reliable readability at display sizes with a distinctive, energetic slant.
Uppercase proportions feel compact with wide feet and stable baselines, while the lowercase shows sturdy bowls and relatively short extenders, helping the texture stay dark and even. Spacing appears comfortable for display use, and the italic construction keeps counters open enough to avoid clogging at larger text sizes.
