A heavy italic slab-serif with compact, sturdy proportions and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are largely even in weight, with broad slab serifs that read as squared-off and slightly bracketed, giving forms a carved, workmanlike solidity. Curves are generously rounded but terminate with blunt, flattened edges, producing a consistent, blocky rhythm across the alphabet and numerals. Counters are relatively tight and the joins feel reinforced, resulting in a dense, high-impact texture that holds together well in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its dense weight and italic drive can add emphasis. It also works well for branding, packaging, and sports or workwear-inspired graphics that benefit from a tough, straightforward typographic voice.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, pairing a vintage, sign-painter practicality with a sporty, display-driven punch. Its bold, slanted posture adds momentum, while the stout slabs keep it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a reliable, uniform texture: a bold italic slab meant to read quickly and feel durable, evoking traditional print and signage while remaining structured and consistent in longer lines.
The sample text shows a strong, even color with pronounced letter silhouettes and clear differentiation in common shapes (notably the round forms and the angular diagonals). The numerals follow the same sturdy, slabbed construction, maintaining a cohesive, poster-ready presence.
