A heavy, italic slab serif with compact proportions and broad, squared-off feet that read as sturdy and emphatic. Strokes are mostly even, with rounded joins and subtly bracketed slab connections that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Counters are moderately open and the italic slant is assertive, giving the letterforms a forward-leaning rhythm; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with robust terminals, while numerals are wide and weighty with strong verticals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks where its strong slabs and italic momentum can carry a message. It should perform well in editorial layouts, branding marks, packaging, and event or sports-inspired graphics where a sturdy, attention-grabbing serif is needed.
The tone is energetic and workmanlike, mixing a vintage print feel with a sporty, headline-ready presence. Its slanted stance adds urgency and motion, while the chunky slabs keep it grounded and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, readable italic slab voice that evokes classic print and signage while remaining practical for modern display typography. The consistent, squared slabs and controlled contrast suggest an emphasis on impact, stability, and quick recognizability at larger sizes.
Overall spacing appears on the generous side for a display serif, helping the heavy strokes maintain clarity in words and pangrams. The serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, poster-friendly texture.
