A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with thick, squared-off serifs and a compact, blocky build. Strokes stay robust and mostly even, with minimal modulation, while corners are slightly softened and some joins show small notches that read like subtle ink-trap detailing. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are somewhat closed, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture. The italic is a true slant rather than a cursive rewrite, maintaining sturdy proportions and strong, rectangular terminals across letters and figures.
Best suited for display settings where impact matters—headlines, posters, brand marks, product packaging, and energetic campaign graphics. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a strong, condensed block of text is desired, but its dense color favors larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and insistent, with a vintage, workmanlike energy that also nods to sporty and headline-driven typography. Its dense rhythm and emphatic slabs create a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a pragmatic slab-serif structure, combining an italic slant for motion with heavy, squared terminals for authority. It aims for a versatile display voice that feels both retro and industrial while staying highly legible at headline scales.
Round letters (like O/C/G) remain broadly geometric but are tempered by flattened areas and hefty terminals, which keeps the texture more rugged than elegant. The numerals match the letterweight closely and read as sturdy, poster-ready figures with consistent, squared finishing.
