A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a strong, compact color on the page. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with sturdy slab terminals that feel slightly bracketed and integrated rather than purely rectangular. The capitals are squared and weighty with crisp joins, while the lowercase introduces more cursive/italic movement, including single-storey forms and energetic entry/exit strokes. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is punchy, with robust numerals that match the dense, headline-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its dense weight and slab serifs can do the work—magazine titles, posters, signage, brand marks, and packaging. It also fits sports and heritage-inspired graphics where a strong italic serif can communicate speed, confidence, and tradition.
The tone is bold and classic, combining vintage editorial flavor with a confident, slightly sporty energy. Its strong slabbiness and italic momentum evoke old-school display typography—ideal for work that wants to feel established, emphatic, and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or understated.
The design appears intended as a forceful display serif that merges classic slab authority with italic dynamism. It prioritizes impact and character—especially in titles and promotional copy—while maintaining enough structure and consistency to stay legible in longer lines.
The italic slant is consistent across cases, but the design deliberately mixes structured, blocky caps with more fluid lowercase forms, creating contrast in personality while keeping a unified weight and presence. In text settings it forms a dark, high-impact stripe with clear word shapes, favoring display clarity over airy openness.
