A heavy italic slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, muscular silhouette. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thick verticals and thinner joins, and bracketed slab-like serifs that read as sturdy wedges rather than delicate feet. Many letters feature subtle notches and ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins, plus rounded terminals in places (notably in the lowercase), creating a lively rhythm despite the dense weight. Counters are relatively tight but kept open enough for display readability, and the figures follow the same bold, slanted, high-impact construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where an assertive italic serif can carry the message on its own. It also fits packaging, event graphics, and sports-leaning identities that benefit from bold, retro-tinged emphasis. In longer passages it will read as very dark and attention-forward, so it’s most effective in short bursts or larger sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, blending vintage print cues with a sporty, headline-forward attitude. Its chunky italic stance and emphatic slabs give it a bold, promotional voice that feels ready for attention-grabbing titles and slogans.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that combines classic sign/print energy with a contemporary, athletic slant. The bracketed slabs and sculpted joins suggest a focus on distinctive, memorable lettershapes that hold up in bold editorial and promotional contexts.
The slant is consistent and purposeful, and the design leans on strong horizontal slabs and rounded interior shaping to keep the texture from becoming overly rigid. The texture in text settings is dark and emphatic, with distinctive join detailing that adds character at larger sizes.
