A heavy, slanted slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-like color on the page. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be fairly closed, while the italic construction creates a strong forward rhythm. Terminals and joins show subtle shaping that helps keep the bold forms from clogging, especially in tight interior corners.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, cover lines, posters, and bold callouts. It can also work for short bursts of text in editorial layouts or packaging, especially when a strong, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a slightly vintage, athletic energy. Its oblique stance and chunky slabs read as confident and action-oriented, evoking classic sports headlines and mid-century editorial display.
Designed to deliver maximum emphasis with a straightforward slab-serif voice, combining solid construction with an italic slant for momentum. The goal appears to be a dependable, high-impact display slab that stays legible while projecting confidence.
Uppercase forms feel stable and rectangular, while the lowercase maintains a workmanlike structure with a clearly differentiated, robust italic flow. Numerals match the weight and slant, reinforcing a consistent, emphatic texture across mixed text.
