A robust italic slab-serif with heavy, blocky serifs and a clearly right-leaning stance. Strokes are thick with noticeable contrast between main stems and curved joins, and the serifs read as squared and substantial with slight rounding and bracketing that keeps the texture smooth. Curves are full and open (notably in C/O/S and the lowercase bowls), while joins and terminals show crisp, cut-like edges that add snap. Spacing is sturdy and even, producing a dense, high-impact line color in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short blocks of emphasized text where its dense texture and slabbing can carry visual hierarchy. It can also work well for branding marks and packaging that need a sturdy, attention-grabbing voice, and for editorial layouts seeking a forceful italic accent.
The overall tone feels bold and self-assured, with a distinctly editorial and slightly retro flavor. Its strong slabbing and italic momentum suggest energy and emphasis, giving it a headline-forward personality that can read as sporty or poster-like depending on setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a punchy italic slab-serif voice that reads strongly at display sizes while remaining cohesive in text samples. It prioritizes impact, consistent slab detailing, and a steady rhythm, aiming for expressive emphasis without sacrificing typographic discipline.
Numerals are heavy and clear with strong horizontals and stable silhouettes, matching the uppercase weight and reinforcing a display-oriented rhythm. The italic construction remains controlled rather than calligraphic, keeping shapes blunt and typographic with consistent slab detailing across cases.
