A heavy italic slab serif with compact proportions and sturdy, bracketed serifs that read as squared-off blocks with softened joins. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, stable color on the line. The italic angle is pronounced and paired with slightly condensed counters, producing a tight rhythm and strong forward motion. Curves (C, G, S, O/Q) are generously rounded and smoothly integrated into the slab structure, while diagonals and joins (K, M, N, V/W, X) are firm and crisp, keeping the overall texture disciplined and bold.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, sports or event graphics, and bold brand marks. It also works well for packaging and short editorial callouts where a compact italic slab can carry strong emphasis without relying on high contrast.
The tone is confident and energetic, with a distinctly vintage, sign-and-poster feel. Its forward slant and blocky slabs suggest speed and emphasis, evoking classic sports branding and mid-century editorial display typography without becoming decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering a forceful italic voice with robust slabs and a controlled, compact rhythm—optimized for attention-grabbing typography that feels sturdy, fast, and historically rooted in print and signage traditions.
Letterforms show careful balancing between squared terminals and rounded interior shapes, which helps maintain legibility at larger sizes while preserving a compact, punchy texture. Numerals share the same weight and italic stance, aligning well for headlines and short numeric callouts.
