A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad, bracketed terminals and softened corners that keep the dense weight from feeling brittle. Strokes stay largely even, with subtle modulation and sturdy, blocky serifs that read clearly at large sizes. Counters are relatively tight and forms are compact, producing a strong color on the page; the lowercase shows sturdy bowls and shoulders, and the numerals follow the same bold, slightly condensed rhythm with stable baselines and assertive curves.
Best suited for headlines, signage, posters, and brand marks where a forceful, slanted slab serif can carry the message. It also works well on packaging and apparel graphics that benefit from a vintage, athletic voice and strong typographic presence.
The font conveys a bold, throwback tone that feels energetic and sure-footed, like vintage sports lettering or classic headline display type. Its slanted stance adds motion and emphasis, while the chunky slabs contribute a grounded, no-nonsense authority.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif framework, combining sturdy, bracketed serifs with an italicized forward lean for urgency and momentum. The overall construction prioritizes bold legibility and recognizable display character over delicate detail.
The silhouette alternates between rounded internal spaces and squared-off slab endings, creating a distinctive push–pull between softness and impact. In text settings, the weight and tight spacing create a dark, poster-like texture that favors short, emphatic lines over extended reading.
