A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a slightly compressed, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes show clear (but not extreme) contrast, with thick main stems and narrower joins and terminals, giving the face a sculpted, engraved feel. Counters are relatively tight and the curves are generously rounded, while diagonals and arms end in firm slabs that hold the line well at display sizes. The overall silhouette is assertive and dense, with small internal apertures and a consistent italic construction across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where weight and slanted emphasis are desirable—posters, magazine covers, branding wordmarks, packaging, and sports or event graphics. It can work for subheads or pull quotes, but its dense texture and tight counters are more effective at larger sizes than in long-form body copy.
The tone reads bold and punchy with a classic print sensibility—part editorial headline, part athletic or collegiate emphasis. The slant adds motion and urgency, while the slab serifs keep it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, attention-grabbing italic voice that blends slab-serif solidity with a more dynamic, editorial cadence. Its bracketed slabs and controlled contrast aim to provide a traditional foundation while the overall slant and dense color push it into impactful display territory.
Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, with strong horizontal serifs that create a pronounced baseline and cap-line presence. Lowercase maintains the same muscular weight, with rounded bowls and sturdy shoulders that keep words dark and cohesive. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and stance, supporting the same forward-driving texture in running lines.
