A right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a firm, low-contrast stroke structure. The forms combine broad, confident curves with flat terminals and subtly bracketed joins, producing a crisp, slightly athletic rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel robust and classical, while the lowercase shows compact, energetic shapes with clear, open counters and a steady baseline presence. Numerals are bold and readable, with the same squared serif logic and a consistent, workmanlike texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text where a strong, characterful italic is desired—such as magazines, packaging, brand marks, and sports or event-driven design. It can also work for pull quotes and editorial leads where sturdy serifs and a confident slant help text stand out.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, mixing a traditional slab foundation with a dynamic italic slant. It reads as dependable and punchy rather than delicate, giving copy a vintage-meets-modern sports or newspaper flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic slab serif that remains bold and legible, pairing traditional serif cues with squared, contemporary terminals for a more graphic, attention-getting voice.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create forward motion, but the heavy slabs and flat terminals keep the color even and grounded. In paragraphs it builds a strong horizontal line and a slightly condensed, busy texture that favors emphasis and momentum over softness.
