A sturdy, slanted serif with pronounced, slab-like terminals and a clear oldstyle influence. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with strong verticals and rounded joins that keep counters open but slightly compact. Serifs are heavy and mostly bracketed, creating a dense, anchored texture, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals) carry a soft, swelling quality. Lowercase forms lean italic with lively entry/exit strokes and occasional ball terminals, producing an energetic rhythm that remains cohesive in text.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, classic voice is needed. The dense texture and energetic slant also work nicely for packaging, labels, and sports-leaning print or merch graphics, as well as punchy editorial callouts and subheads.
The font projects a bold, nostalgic tone with a hint of athletic and editorial flair. Its weighty serifs and slanted stance feel assertive and promotional, while the rounded details add warmth and approachability rather than severity.
The design appears aimed at delivering a confident, retro-leaning italic serif with slab-like authority—combining sturdy serifs and contrasted strokes to create impact, legibility, and a recognizable, characterful texture in display settings.
In paragraphs the face builds a dark, even color with strong word shapes; the heavier serifs and angled stress make it most convincing at display and short-text sizes. Numerals are similarly robust and curvy, matching the overall vintage serif personality.
