A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, low-modulation strokes and broad proportions. Serifs read as thick, blocky slabs with subtle rounding and light bracketing that keep joins from feeling overly sharp. Counters are relatively open for the weight, curves are full and steady, and the overall rhythm is assertive with clear, squared-off terminals and consistent stroke endings across caps, lowercase, and figures.
This face performs best in display settings where its weight and slabbiness can carry the layout—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and bold editorial callouts. It also fits branding that benefits from a rugged, athletic, or industrial voice, including packaging and logo work where a strong italic emphasis is desirable.
The tone is bold and energetic, combining a utilitarian, workmanlike sturdiness with a lively italic slant. It suggests a confident, slightly retro voice—well suited to messaging that wants to feel punchy, direct, and headline-forward rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, high-impact slab serif with an italicized sense of speed, maintaining solid legibility through open counters and straightforward, squared terminals. It prioritizes presence and momentum while keeping the overall construction simple and consistent.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and emphasis at large sizes, with noticeable forward motion from the slant and heavy slabs. Numerals share the same robust construction and feel built for impact, matching the letterforms in weight and presence.
