A heavy, oblique slab serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and a mostly even stroke weight. The forms are broad and stable, with generous counters and a slightly condensed internal rhythm that keeps words dense and punchy at display sizes. Serifs read as blocky and functional, often with subtle bracketing, while joins and corners show small notches that give a mildly "ink-trap" texture in the lowercase. Numerals and caps are firm and architectural, maintaining consistent weight and a strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and prominent pull quotes where a bold, slanted slab can carry impact. It also fits sports and collegiate-style branding, bold packaging, and statement-making editorial typography where texture and momentum are desirable.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, mixing a utilitarian, workhorse sturdiness with a sporty, headline-driven swagger. Its slanted stance adds motion and urgency, while the slab construction keeps it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a fast, forward-leaning rhythm while retaining the solid, reliable structure of a slab serif. It prioritizes presence and clarity in large sizes, pairing robust construction with a dynamic slant for attention-grabbing messaging.
In the sample text, emphasis comes from the combination of strong slabs and the forward slant, producing a dark, continuous texture across lines. The lowercase is clearly differentiated and readable, with distinctive shapes (notably in the single-storey-style rounds and the angular diagonals) that help word recognition in punchy, short bursts.
