A heavy, right-leaning serif with sturdy slab-like feet and gently bracketed joins. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, producing a dense, energetic texture in text. Terminals tend toward squared-off endings with softened corners, while counters stay relatively compact, reinforcing a punchy, headline-oriented color. The italic structure is pronounced and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with lively diagonals and a slightly compressed, workmanlike rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, posters, and branding where a strong italic presence and high visual weight help establish hierarchy quickly. It can also work well for packaging or promotional graphics that benefit from a vintage-leaning, athletic editorial tone.
The overall tone reads sporty and assertive with a distinctly retro print sensibility. Its strong slabbing and brisk italic motion give it a confident, attention-grabbing voice that feels at home in editorial and display settings where impact matters.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a heavy italic serif structure, combining slab-like sturdiness with a brisk, forward-leaning rhythm. Its forms prioritize punch and personality over delicacy, aiming for a confident voice in display and branding contexts.
Capitals look sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable skeleton despite the heavy weight. Numerals appear similarly robust and upright-to-italic in feel, matching the font’s bold, slanted momentum in running text.
