A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad, squared-off serifs and a compact, dense footprint. Strokes are strongly weighted with minimal modulation, producing a dark, even color, while counters remain fairly open for the weight. The italic construction reads as a true slanted style rather than a cursive script, with sturdy joins and emphatic terminals. Uppercase forms feel wide and stable, and the lowercase shows a pragmatic, sturdy rhythm suited to tight setting at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where a strong, italicized presence is needed—posters, signage, sports and team identity, packaging, and promotional typography. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when you want a dense, attention-grabbing typographic color.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a vintage, workmanlike flavor that recalls athletic lettering and classic advertising. Its weight and slanted posture give it momentum and urgency, projecting confidence and impact rather than delicacy.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a robust slab framework and a dynamic slant, balancing ruggedness with readability. The goal is a bold, energetic display voice that holds together across mixed-case text and numerals.
The figures are thick and highly legible, matching the headline-oriented voice of the letters. The slab details stay consistent across caps and lowercase, helping long bold lines keep a coherent texture without looking overly ornate.
