A heavy oblique slab-serif with broad, square-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The design is compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls counterbalancing crisp, flat terminals and slab feet. Letterforms show a forward-leaning rhythm and slightly condensed internal counters that help the face stay dark and punchy. Numerals and capitals appear especially robust and geometric, with consistent serif treatment and a stable baseline feel.
Best suited to display settings where a dense, forceful texture is desirable—headlines, posters, packaging, and sports or team-style branding. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where the slanted emphasis adds urgency, but extended body copy may feel heavy due to the dark overall color.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining a vintage, print-era toughness with a modern, high-impact slant. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, suggesting motion and emphasis without becoming overly decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver high-impact italic emphasis with a rugged slab-serif backbone, prioritizing presence and momentum in display typography. Its squared serifs and consistent weight aim for a bold, dependable voice that holds up in large-scale messaging.
The oblique angle is pronounced enough to create a strong directional flow in text, while the slabs keep the texture grounded. In the sample paragraph the heavy color is continuous, so spacing and counters play a major role in maintaining clarity at smaller sizes.
