A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, squared-off terminals and compact, tightly controlled counters. Strokes are sturdy and largely uniform, with subtle shaping at joins and a slightly angular, carved quality that keeps forms crisp at display sizes. The serifs read as strong blocks with modest bracketing, and many glyphs show purposeful notches and cut-ins at key joints, adding bite and improving separation in dense letterforms. Uppercase proportions feel solid and slightly condensed in rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a steady, workmanlike texture with rounded bowls and short, firm terminals.
Best suited for display typography where bold presence and slanted momentum help lead the eye—headlines, pull quotes, covers, posters, and punchy packaging. It can also work well for sports-themed branding and promotional materials that benefit from a strong, energetic typographic voice.
The overall tone is energetic and emphatic, combining a sporty, headline-driven urgency with a classic editorial italic feel. It suggests motion and confidence without becoming overly decorative, making it feel both vintage-leaning and contemporary in impact.
Designed to deliver a forceful italic slab-serif voice with crisp terminals and practical internal shaping, prioritizing clarity and impact in large sizes. The construction balances classic slab-serif stability with an oblique, forward-driving stance for attention-grabbing display use.
Numerals and capitals carry the same squared, muscular construction, giving mixed text a consistent, punchy color. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, and the internal spacing stays relatively tight, producing a dense, high-impact line in the sample text.
