A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are thick and generally even, with squared, blocky serifs that show slight bracketing and a consistent, sculpted rhythm. The italic construction reads as a true slanted design rather than a simple oblique, with energetic diagonals, sturdy joins, and tight apertures that keep forms dense and high-impact. Numerals and capitals share the same blunt, squared finishing and strong baseline presence, producing a solid, poster-ready texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other display settings where a dense, punchy texture is an advantage. It can also work for bold editorial callouts, sports or team-style branding, and packaging or labels that benefit from a retro, high-impact italic serif.
The tone is bold and extroverted, blending a vintage print feel with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its forward slant and chunky slabs create a sense of motion and confidence, while the rounded pockets and softened bracketing keep it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a confident italic stance and robust slab details, balancing rugged, blocky construction with enough shaping to keep the forms lively. It prioritizes presence and momentum in short lines and large sizes, aiming for a distinctive, attention-grabbing voice.
In running text, the dark color and tight counters create a compact, emphatic texture, making letterspacing and line length important for clarity. The design’s distinctive slabs and italic rhythm are most noticeable at medium-to-large sizes, where the angular terminals and sturdy silhouettes can read cleanly.
