A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad, square-cut serifs and firmly weighted strokes. The letterforms are built from stout, simplified shapes with rounded joins and generous counters that keep the texture readable at large sizes. Terminals and serifs feel blunt and architectural, while the italic slant adds momentum without introducing calligraphic contrast. Overall spacing reads solid and compact, producing a dense, high-impact typographic color.
Best suited to display work where weight and presence matter: headlines, poster typography, promotional graphics, and sports or event branding. It can also work for punchy editorial callouts, packaging fronts, and short emphatic lines where a strong italic slab voice is desired.
The tone is confident and punchy, with a retro, varsity-adjacent energy that feels suited to bold statements. Its mass and slanted posture suggest motion and emphasis, giving headlines a competitive, high-visibility character.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of bold slab serifs with the urgency of an italic stance, delivering a durable, attention-grabbing display style. Its simplified, square-ended construction prioritizes immediate recognition and consistent impact across letters and numbers.
Numerals are similarly hefty and straightforward, with clear silhouettes that match the blocky serif language. The italic angle is consistent across cases, helping mixed-case settings stay cohesive and energetic.
