A heavy, right-slanted slab-serif with broad, square-ended terminals and a compact, muscular build. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and strong internal counters. The letterforms lean into blunt geometry—firm stems, rounded-but-weighty bowls, and sturdy slab feet—while keeping a slightly condensed, tightly packed rhythm that reads clearly at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals match the same bold, block-forward construction for a cohesive, uniform color on the line.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where bold emphasis and fast readability matter. It fits sports branding, event promotions, packaging, and signage that benefits from a strong, retro-leaning slab-serif voice. For longer passages, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes where counters and spacing have room to breathe.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, with a vintage, sports-and-signage flavor. Its strong slabbing and pronounced italic stance create a sense of motion and emphasis, giving text a loud, promotional presence without feeling delicate or refined.
This design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that combines slab-serif sturdiness with forward motion. The goal seems to be delivering a compact, attention-grabbing texture that feels bold, practical, and well suited to branding and promotional typography.
The italic angle is substantial and consistent, helping maintain momentum across longer lines. Spacing appears designed for impact—forms sit close and feel compact, reinforcing a solid, poster-like texture and making the face especially striking in all-caps settings.
