A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with squared, flat terminals and dense, compact letterforms. Strokes stay broadly even, with thick joins and tight internal counters that emphasize mass over delicacy. Serifs read as sturdy blocks rather than tapered wedges, and many glyphs show subtle cut-ins/notches at joins and corners that sharpen the silhouette and help keep counters open. Overall rhythm is punchy and consistent, with strong vertical presence and robust numerals that match the text weight.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, sports and team-style branding, and bold packaging. It also works well for editorial callouts and short, emphatic lines where a strong italic slab can carry hierarchy on its own.
The tone is bold and energetic, mixing a vintage, print-forward feel with a confident, athletic poster voice. Its blocky slabs and italic slant give it motion and urgency, while the squared construction keeps it grounded and utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in limited space, combining stout slab serifs with an italic slant for emphasis and speed. Its squared terminals and reinforced joins suggest an intention toward robust reproduction and high-contrast readability at display sizes.
In the sample text, the texture stays dark and cohesive, with clear word shapes despite the tight apertures. The design’s angular cut-ins become more noticeable at larger sizes, adding a slightly mechanical, stamped character without turning decorative.
