A robust italic slab serif with heavy, blocky serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast and clearly sculpted joins, giving counters a slightly compressed, sturdy feel. The slab serifs read broad and supportive, with mostly squared ends and occasional subtle bracketing that softens transitions into stems. Uppercase forms are compact and weighty, while lowercase letters keep a steady x-height with lively, angled terminals and a slightly irregular, hand-set rhythm. Numerals are equally strong and compact, matching the overall mass and slanted texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic text where its heavy italic texture can carry the message. It also fits sports branding, product packaging, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a strong, retro-leaning slab serif voice.
The tone is confident and high-impact, with a vintage editorial and poster sensibility. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs create a sense of motion and urgency, while the solid construction keeps it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, attention-grabbing slab italic for display typography, combining sturdy, square-ended slabs with energetic slanted forms for impactful titles and branding.
In text, the italic angle and heavy serifs produce a dark, energetic line that favors display sizes. Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, reinforcing a punchy texture; careful tracking can help in longer settings.
