A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with thick, low-contrast strokes and square-cut terminals. The serifs read as solid rectangular blocks, joined cleanly to the stems with little to no bracketing, producing a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is compact, with slightly condensed, forward-leaning forms that maintain consistent heft across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold signage. It also fits branding and packaging where a strong, vintage-leaning slab serif can carry a confident, energetic message. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a distinctly retro, all-caps display feel. Its bold slabs and italic drive suggest motion and impact, giving it a sporty, headline-forward personality that prioritizes immediacy over delicacy.
The design appears intended as a punchy, attention-grabbing italic slab for display use, combining a strong rectangular serif structure with a forward-leaning stance to convey motion and authority. Its simplified, heavy construction suggests an emphasis on durability and readability at large sizes.
At text sizes the weight and tight apertures can make internal spaces feel dense, while at larger sizes the square serifs and simplified shapes become a clear stylistic feature. The numerals match the letterforms in mass and slant, reinforcing a cohesive, forceful texture in runs of type.
