A slanted slab-serif design with sturdy, rectangular serifs and a compact, print-like build. Strokes stay relatively even with only modest modulation, giving the letters a solid, low-drama rhythm. Curves are broad and controlled, with tight-ish apertures and counters that keep the forms dense and emphatic. The italic is formed more by an overall oblique slant and sharpened entry/exit angles than by calligraphic contrast, and the numerals follow the same robust, squared-off logic for consistent texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short bursts of text where the bold slab structure and italic energy can carry a message. It works well in editorial layouts, poster typography, and branding contexts that benefit from a sturdy, slightly vintage voice—such as sports or collegiate-inspired materials and product packaging accents.
The font projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with a vintage, editorial flavor. Its slab structure and italic stance add momentum and authority, reading as assertive and slightly old-school rather than delicate or playful. Overall it feels dependable and impactful, suitable for messaging that wants presence without high contrast finesse.
Likely designed to deliver a forceful italic slab-serif voice that balances impact with readability. The controlled contrast, square-leaning serifs, and compact interior spaces suggest an aim for strong typographic color in display settings while maintaining a disciplined, traditional silhouette.
Letterforms show a consistent serif treatment across caps and lowercase, with blocky terminals and firm horizontals that hold up well at display sizes. The spacing and shapes create a dark, even typographic color, and the italic angle is strong enough to be expressive while remaining legible.
