A heavy oblique slab-serif with broad, square-shouldered forms and sturdy, blocky terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform, with only subtle modulation, and the letterforms lean consistently, creating a strong rightward momentum. Serifs are thick and confident, often slightly bracketed, and joins/corners read crisp, giving the design a dense, punchy texture. The lowercase shows a large x-height and compact counters, while numerals are robust and headline-oriented, matching the overall weight and slanted stance.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a confident, high-impact voice is needed. It works well for sports identities, promotional graphics, packaging, and short editorial callouts, and can also support logo wordmarks that benefit from a bold, forward-leaning slab-serif character.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like presence that feels at home in bold branding. Its oblique stance and chunky slabs suggest speed and impact, while the overall construction nods to vintage editorial and industrial signage aesthetics.
The design appears intended to combine the sturdiness of slab serifs with an italicized sense of motion, yielding a compact, high-contrast-in-impact (rather than stroke) display face that stays legible at large sizes while projecting authority and speed.
In text settings the rhythm stays tight and dark, producing a strong horizontal banding that favors emphasis over airiness. The italic slant is pronounced enough to read as dynamic display styling, yet the underlying shapes remain straightforward and functional.
