A heavy italic slab-serif with compact proportions and sturdy, squared-off serifs that read as blocky and confident. Strokes are dense and even, with moderate thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant that creates forward motion. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is chunky and energetic, with distinctly robust joins and terminals that keep letterforms crisp at display sizes. Numerals and capitals match the weighty, poster-ready texture, maintaining a uniform, solid color across lines of text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and promotional layouts where a strong typographic voice is needed. The weight and slant work especially well for sports-themed branding, punchy editorial titles, and packaging or signage that benefits from a bold, vintage-leaning slab-serif presence.
The tone is bold and punchy, combining a classic slab-serif backbone with an athletic, forward-leaning feel. It suggests vintage headlines, strong opinions, and confident branding—more forceful than refined, and designed to grab attention quickly.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in display settings by pairing a heavy slab-serif structure with an energetic italic stance. The intent appears to be a confident, attention-getting face that feels sturdy and classic while still conveying speed and urgency.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to add momentum without collapsing spacing, producing a dense, high-contrast texture in paragraphs. The slab details and firm terminals give it a sturdy silhouette that stays readable even when tightly set, while the overall mass makes it best suited to short bursts rather than long-form reading.
