A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with prominent bracketed serifs and sturdy, blocky terminals. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with round letters maintaining broad, slightly compressed counters and a consistent, punchy rhythm. The lowercase has a traditional italic construction with single-storey forms (notably the a and g), and the numerals are bold and compact with strong footing. Overall spacing reads tight-to-normal, emphasizing a dense, high-impact texture in words.
Best suited for display settings where impact matters: headlines, magazine features, posters, and bold pull quotes. It also fits sports or collegiate-style branding and packaging labels that benefit from a confident, traditional serif voice. For long text, it will read most comfortably in short bursts or larger sizes due to its dense weight and emphatic serifs.
The tone is assertive and energetic, blending vintage print cues with a sporty, banner-like presence. Its strong slabbing and italic momentum make it feel promotional and action-oriented while still retaining a classic, editorial gravity.
Designed to deliver a forceful italic slab impression that combines classic serif structure with promotional punch. The aim appears to be a sturdy, attention-grabbing display style that stays structured and readable while projecting momentum and authority.
Diagonal strokes and curved joins are kept smooth and weighty, which helps maintain legibility at larger sizes while reinforcing a rugged, poster-friendly silhouette. The caps feel especially stout and sign-like, with the italic slant adding forward motion without becoming calligraphic.
