A heavy italic slab-serif with compact proportions and strongly bracketed serifs that read as squared-off and weighty at the terminals. Strokes are broadly monoline with minimal contrast, and the slanted construction creates a forward rhythm without becoming overly cursive. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed, producing a dense, punchy texture in text. Curves transition into straighter segments with crisp joins, and several forms show subtle notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that help keep the black mass from clogging at small interior corners.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and packaging where a strong, italic voice is needed. It can also work for editorial leads or pull quotes, especially when given enough size and spacing to prevent the dense forms from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a distinctly vintage, poster-and-press feel. Its forward slant and blocky slabs evoke speed and competitiveness, while the dense color communicates confidence and solidity.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, impactful italic slab voice—combining sturdy, squared terminals with compact, dark letterforms for attention-grabbing typography that stays structured and grounded.
In all-caps settings it reads like a headline face, with sturdy silhouettes and pronounced footings. The numerals and lowercase share the same compact, weight-forward logic, giving paragraphs a strong, dark typographic color that benefits from generous tracking and leading.
