A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, blocklike proportions and tightly controlled counters. The serifs read as sturdy slabs with subtle bracketing, and many joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen internal corners. Round letters (C, O, Q) are squarish and compact rather than fully geometric, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay thick and assertive. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms and short, strong terminals, keeping a consistent, muscular rhythm across text and display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, storefront or venue signage, and bold packaging callouts. It also fits sports and collegiate-style branding where a slanted, slab-serif voice can signal speed and strength while remaining highly legible at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a vintage, athletic attitude. Its chunky slabs and condensed-feeling curves give it a tough, workmanlike confidence that reads as action-oriented and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or literary.
This design appears intended to deliver a forceful, italicized slab-serif voice with strong presence and quick readability. The compact shaping and corner cut-ins suggest an emphasis on maintaining clarity and sharpness under heavy weight, especially in display settings.
Figures are wide and headline-friendly, matching the letter weight closely; the "1" is a simple, strong vertical with a small top flag, and rounded numbers stay compact. Spacing appears slightly tight in running text, reinforcing a dense, poster-like color.
