A heavy, italic slab-serif with square-cut terminals and a compact, muscular silhouette. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as thick, block-like slabs that stay crisp at the ends. Counters are relatively tight, curves are sturdy rather than delicate, and the overall rhythm is punchy and forward-leaning. Numerals and caps share the same dense, engineered feel, producing a strong, high-impact texture in both isolated glyphs and running text.
Best suited to large-size display work where weight and slanted emphasis are assets—headlines, posters, sports and event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short editorial deck lines or pull quotes when a dense, attention-grabbing texture is desired.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a distinctly sporty, poster-ready confidence. Its sturdy slabs and forward slant suggest motion, toughness, and a vintage display attitude, balancing utilitarian strength with a slightly nostalgic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a confident italic drive, using thick slabs and square terminals to stay legible and forceful under high visual pressure. It prioritizes bold presence and a robust, no-nonsense structure over refinement.
In the sample text the letterforms maintain a consistent, dark color and strong word shapes, with the heavy slabs creating pronounced horizontal accents. The italic angle is substantial enough to read as dynamic, while the square finishing keeps the overall impression grounded and industrial.
