A heavy, slanted slab-serifoman with compact counters and broad, blocky terminals. Strokes show clear shaping rather than monoline neutrality, with stout slabs and squared-off ends softened by slightly rounded corners. The italic construction leans strongly, creating a forward rhythm, while joins and apertures stay relatively tight—especially in letters like a, e, s, and g—giving the face a dense, punchy texture. Numerals and capitals maintain a sturdy, poster-like presence with consistent weight distribution and stable baseline behavior.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold callouts where its dense, slabbed forms can deliver maximum impact. It also works well for sports-themed identities, event graphics, and packaging that needs an energetic, retro-leaning voice. For longer passages, it will generally perform better at larger sizes with added spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is loud and forceful, with a forward-leaning momentum that reads as sporty and promotional. Its thick slabs and compact interior spaces evoke vintage athletic graphics and industrial signage, projecting confidence and impact more than refinement. The strong slant adds urgency and motion, making headlines feel energized and insistent.
The design appears aimed at a high-impact italic slab for attention-grabbing typography, combining stout slabs with a strong forward slant to suggest speed and confidence. Its compact counters and chunky terminals prioritize presence and punch, aligning with use in promotional and identity settings rather than quiet reading.
At text sizes the tight counters and heavy slabs can darken quickly, so it benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing when set in multi-line blocks. The strongest visual character appears in caps and short words, where the chunky slabs and brisk italic angle read most clearly.
