A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with dense, compact letterforms and strong, square-ended serifs. Strokes stay largely monoline, with only subtle modulation, emphasizing a sturdy, uniform texture in text. Terminals and joins are sharply cut, and several counters and corners show small notch-like cut-ins that add crispness and help prevent dark clumping at bold sizes. The overall rhythm is energetic and forward, with tight apertures and robust curves that keep the silhouette solid.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where weight and slant can do the work of emphasis. It also fits sports branding, labels, and signage that need a bold, compact italic with strong lettershapes that hold up at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is bold and high-impact, with a sporty, headline-driven feel. Its italic slant and blocky slabs suggest speed and emphasis, lending a confident, promotional voice that reads as classic and slightly retro without feeling delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a forceful italic slab serif for attention-grabbing applications, combining a sturdy, square-serif build with energetic forward motion. The notched details and tight shaping suggest an intention to keep forms readable and crisp under heavy weight while maintaining a consistent, punchy texture.
Capitals present broad, stable shapes with emphatic slabs, while the lowercase keeps a compact, workmanlike build that maintains strong color across lines. Numerals are thick and highly legible, built to match the same squared, punchy construction and slanted posture.
