A sturdy italic slab-serif with compact proportions and emphatic, blocky serifs that read as squared-off and firmly anchored. Strokes are weighty with moderate contrast and a consistent rightward slant, giving the letterforms a forward-leaning rhythm. Curves are broad and slightly squared in the transitions, while joins and terminals stay crisp, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The numerals match the letters in weight and stance, with clear, simple shapes and strong horizontal finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, posters, and branding where you want a strong, italicized voice with slab-serif authority. It performs well in short to medium-length display text, such as magazine openers, event promotions, product packaging, and energetic identity systems.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, pairing a classic slab-serif solidity with an italic momentum that feels sporty and promotional. It suggests vintage display typography—confident, attention-getting, and a bit theatrical—without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to combine the punch of a heavy slab-serif with the urgency and motion of italics, creating a robust display face that stays legible while projecting impact. Its squared slab terminals and compact, forceful forms support quick recognition and high-contrast presence in promotional settings.
The font’s texture is dark and even at display sizes, and the italic angle adds motion while preserving a stable baseline presence. Uppercase forms feel especially poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same muscular voice for cohesive mixed-case setting.
