A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, steady rhythm. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with minimal contrast and square-shouldered joins that emphasize a blocky silhouette. Serifs are prominent and slab-like with subtly bracketed transitions, giving counters a firm, engineered feel. The italic is more of a forward slant than a cursive construction, keeping forms upright in structure while adding momentum and emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of display text where its weight and slant can carry emphasis. It also fits branding and packaging that need a bold, retro-leaning slab voice, and works well for sports or collegiate-style identities where sturdy letterforms are desirable.
The tone is confident and punchy, with a vintage, print-forward character that reads as sporty and workmanlike rather than delicate. Its strong slabs and forward lean create an energetic, headline-ready voice that feels classic and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif presence with an italicized drive, combining industrial sturdiness with a lively, attention-getting slant. Its broad proportions and low-contrast stroke behavior prioritize impact and clarity in display settings.
Uppercase forms look especially sturdy and emblematic, while lowercase keeps a simple, utilitarian construction that supports continuous reading at larger sizes. Numerals share the same muscular, squared-off presence, matching the letterforms for consistent signage and titling.
