A slanted slab-serif with heavy, squarish serifs and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The design favors compact counters and a slightly condensed, forward-leaning rhythm, with wedge-like joins and small notches at some stroke intersections that add bite and prevent dark clumping. Curves are round but tightly drawn, while flats and terminals stay crisp, giving the alphabet a punchy, poster-ready texture. Numerals are similarly robust and prominent, with bold, readable shapes that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where a strong voice is needed—headlines, posters, product packaging, and brand marks that want a vintage-leaning, athletic or editorial presence. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or subheads where dense, dark color is an advantage.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a vintage sports-and-headlines flavor. Its combination of strong slabs and italic motion suggests speed and confidence, while the sturdy construction keeps it grounded and practical.
Likely intended as an impactful italic slab for attention-grabbing typography, pairing the speed of a slant with the stability of pronounced slabs. The compact, notched detailing appears aimed at maintaining clarity and texture in bold, high-ink situations.
Uppercase forms read as compact and emphatic, while lowercase keeps the same weight and slant for consistent color in text. The forward lean and tight spacing tendencies create a dense, impactful line, especially in mixed-case sample settings.
