A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with sturdy, block-like construction and minimal stroke modulation. Serifs are broad and squared off, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins feeling reinforced rather than sharp. The italic is expressed as a consistent shear rather than calligraphic shaping, preserving a mechanical rhythm and giving lines a strong, driving tempo. Counters are moderately open and shapes are slightly condensed by weight, producing a dense, high-impact texture in paragraphs and headlines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial callouts where a strong italic presence is desirable. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-industrial or collegiate voice, and can work for subheads when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, combining a vintage, print-era solidity with a sporty, collegiate energy. Its pronounced slabbing and steady italic angle read as confident and no-nonsense, lending a familiar, retro editorial flavor without feeling delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-forward italic slab that keeps a rectangular, engineered structure while remaining readable in short text. Its emphasis is on impact, consistency, and a rugged printed feel rather than delicate detail or high-contrast refinement.
Round letters maintain a firm, engineered feel through thickened curves and squared terminals, while diagonals and joins stay crisp and weighty. Numerals match the same robust voice, with clear silhouettes designed to hold up at larger sizes and in punchy display settings.
