A heavy italic slab serif with broad proportions and a forward-leaning, energetic stance. Strokes show clear but not extreme contrast, with thick main stems and sturdy slab serifs that often appear slightly bracketed and sharply cut on the ends. Curves are full and round, while joins and apertures stay relatively tight, giving the forms a dense, punchy texture in text. The numerals and capitals feel especially weighty and stable, and the overall rhythm mixes strong verticals with crisp angled terminals for a brisk, display-friendly color.
Best suited to short, emphatic text where its weight and slanted slabs can do the work—headlines, posters, editorial covers, and brand marks. It can also serve for punchy subheads, callouts, and packaging copy when given enough space to breathe.
The tone is bold and self-assured, with a classic print-and-poster flavor. Its italic slant and chunky slabs create a sense of motion and emphasis that reads as sporty, promotional, and headline-driven, while still retaining a traditional serif seriousness.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in display settings by combining traditional slab-serif solidity with an italic, forward-driving cadence. The goal appears to be a dependable, attention-grabbing serif that stays legible while projecting urgency and confidence.
In the sample text the heavy weight and tight internal spacing create a dark, impactful line that works best with generous tracking and leading. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the slabs remain prominent even at smaller sizes, reinforcing a strong typographic presence.
