A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and dense, dark color. The strokes are largely uniform, with squared-off slab terminals and subtly bracketed joins that soften the corners. Counters are generous for the weight, while curves stay compact and controlled, creating a sturdy, poster-ready texture. The lowercase shows a robust, slightly compressed rhythm with strong vertical stress from the slanted construction, and the numerals are similarly weighty and stable for display use.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent short-form messaging where weight and slant can amplify urgency. It also fits sports branding, bold packaging labels, and attention-grabbing signage, where its sturdy slabs and compact curves help maintain clarity at large sizes.
The font projects a bold, energetic tone with a vintage, athletic feel. Its assertive slabbing and italic slant suggest motion and impact, lending a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as both promotional and workmanlike.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a strong, slanted slab-serif voice—combining solid, square-ended terminals with a compact, energetic rhythm for assertive display typography.
In running text it forms a strong horizontal drive and an even, emphatic rhythm, with serifs and terminals that remain crisp at larger sizes. The overall spacing and shapes prioritize solidity and punch over delicacy, making it especially effective when set tight and large.
