A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a compact, energetic rhythm. Strokes read mostly even, but with subtle modulation and tapered joins that keep counters open in the dense weight. The italics feel is built into the letterforms rather than simply slanted, with angled terminals, dynamic diagonals, and a slightly compressed, muscular silhouette. Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and assertive, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and strong, anchored feet that maintain clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, and campaign graphics where weight and motion are desirable. It can also work well for sports-related branding, punchy packaging, and book or magazine covers that benefit from a retro-leaning, high-impact slab presence.
The tone is bold and persuasive, with a distinctly vintage editorial and signage flavor. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs project momentum and confidence, suggesting headlines that want to feel active, competitive, or attention-grabbing rather than quiet and neutral.
Likely designed to deliver an assertive slab-serif voice with built-in italic energy—combining sturdy, traditional serifs with a contemporary, kinetic slant for attention-heavy settings. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouettes, compact word shapes, and reliable legibility under heavy weight.
Spacing appears tuned for display: letters sit tightly and form dense word shapes, with pronounced serifs creating a strong baseline and clear horizontal flow. Numerals match the same hefty structure and slanted posture, keeping a consistent voice across mixed alphanumeric settings.
