A robust italic slab-serif with hefty, squared serifs and a steady forward slant. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate contrast, producing a dark, even texture in text. The letterforms feel slightly condensed in their inner spaces, with compact counters and firm, flattened terminals that emphasize horizontals. Curves are rounded but controlled, and the overall construction reads as sturdy and purposeful rather than delicate.
This face performs best in display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, and promotional graphics. It’s well suited to sports-themed branding, packaging labels, and editorial cover lines where a dense, bold italic voice can carry hierarchy and momentum.
The tone is energetic and punchy, combining a classic newspaper or poster sensibility with a sporty, competitive edge. Its slanted stance and heavy slabs give it a sense of motion and urgency, while the strong silhouette projects authority and confidence.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact italic slab voice—combining strong, squared serifs with a compact, energetic rhythm for attention-grabbing typography. It prioritizes presence and immediacy, making it a natural choice for branding and editorial emphasis.
In the sample text, the weight and slant create a pronounced typographic color that favors short bursts of copy over long reading. Numerals match the letterforms in heft and slant, supporting strong emphasis in headings and pull quotes.
