A heavy, right-leaning slab-serif with low stroke contrast and compact, forceful shapes. Serifs are sturdy and blocky with slight bracketing, giving strokes a firmly planted, horizontal finish while keeping corners crisp. The italic construction is pronounced: round letters show angled stress and the overall rhythm is forward-driving, with wide caps and ample interior space in bowls and counters. Numerals and capitals feel robust and poster-ready, while lowercase forms stay clear and sturdy with simple, workmanlike joins.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and display settings where strong presence and fast, italic energy are desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a sturdy, traditional slab voice with contemporary punch, and for sports or event graphics where forward motion is part of the message.
The tone is assertive and energetic, combining an editorial, newspaper-like solidity with a sporty italic slant. It reads as confident and a bit vintage, suited to messages that want urgency and emphasis without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver an impactful italic slab for display typography—combining a stable, industrial serif structure with a clear forward slant for emphasis and momentum.
The font maintains consistent weight across curves and stems, so texture stays even in longer lines. Wide capital proportions and strong slabs make headings feel expansive, while the pronounced slant adds motion and emphasis.
