This typeface is a slanted slab serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and pronounced, blocky serifs. The letterforms feel broad and grounded, with generous internal space and a clear, even rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Serifs are heavy and mostly square-ended, giving the design a firm baseline presence, while the italic angle adds forward motion without becoming calligraphic. The overall drawing emphasizes stability and legibility, pairing solid verticals with simple, rounded bowls and straightforward joins.
It suits headlines and subheads where an energetic serif voice is needed, and performs well in posters, packaging, and branding that benefit from a strong, vintage-leaning presence. The robust construction also supports short paragraphs or pull quotes at larger sizes where texture and emphasis are desirable.
The tone is bold and workmanlike, mixing a vintage print flavor with a brisk, energetic slant. It reads as confident and assertive rather than delicate, lending a slightly nostalgic, sporty editorial character to text.
The design appears intended to combine the authority and sturdiness of a slab serif with the urgency and motion of an italic, producing a display-forward style that remains readable and consistent across letters and figures.
In the sample paragraph, the italic slant and strong serifs create a lively texture, especially at larger sizes. Numerals appear clear and sturdy, matching the letters with the same slabbed finishing and consistent weight.
