A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and a tight, energetic rhythm. Strokes are robust with moderate contrast, and the serifs read as stout slabs with mostly flat ends and subtle bracketing where they join stems. Curves are broad and squared-off in feeling, with rounded bowls tempered by firm terminals; counters stay open enough to remain legible at display sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a sturdy, utilitarian construction, while figures are wide, bold, and built to match the same dense texture.
Best suited to situations where strong typographic color is desirable: headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work well for sports branding, energetic campaigns, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab presence.
The overall tone is confident and high-impact, with a classic, slightly vintage flavor. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs give it a fast, competitive feel that can read as sporty or headline-driven, while still retaining an editorial seriousness.
The likely intent is to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing slab serif that combines solidity with speed through a pronounced italic stance. It prioritizes impact and clarity in display settings while maintaining consistent, workmanlike shapes across the character set.
The design keeps a consistent “chiseled” silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing strong word shapes and emphatic emphasis in longer lines. The italic is integral rather than purely mechanical, preserving weight and presence while adding forward motion.
