A robust italic slab-serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and a forward-leaning stance. Serifs are blocky and well-supported, with mostly flat terminals and subtle shaping at joins that keeps counters open. The proportions read broad and steady, with rounded bowls and squared-off details producing a strong, poster-like texture. Numerals and capitals carry substantial weight and simple geometry, while the lowercase maintains clear rhythm and sturdy, compact forms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short statements where its weight and italic energy can drive emphasis. It can work well for branding systems that want a rugged, vintage-leaning slab voice—especially in sports, product packaging, labels, and editorial display settings. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone feels confident and workmanlike, with a vintage print flavor that suggests classic editorial headlines and sporty branding. Its italic slant adds motion and emphasis, making it feel energetic rather than formal. The thick slabs and steady cadence give it an approachable, no-nonsense voice.
Designed to deliver a bold, energetic slab-serif voice that reads quickly and holds up in attention-grabbing contexts. The italic angle and sturdy slabs appear intended to combine impact with approachable readability, creating a display style that feels classic but still forceful.
In text, the dense color and pronounced serifs create a strong horizontal baseline and a slightly compressed, punchy rhythm. The italic construction stays readable due to generous apertures and straightforward letterforms, even at heavier sizes.
