A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with robust, bracketed serifs and a strong, forward-angled rhythm. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thick main stems and slightly lighter connecting curves, giving the letterforms a carved, ink-on-paper feel rather than purely geometric construction. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and joins are smooth, producing a confident, continuous texture in text. The overall proportions feel broad and stable, with emphatic horizontals and chunky slabs that hold their shape in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial passages where its strong slabs and italic drive can add emphasis without losing structure. It also fits branding, packaging, and promotional work that benefits from a classic-meets-athletic voice and clear, impactful numerals.
The font reads as assertive and energetic, blending classic serif formality with a sporty, display-ready slant. Its bold presence and crisp slabs evoke editorial headlines, vintage print, and confident branding where a sense of momentum and authority is desired.
This design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic slab voice that stays legible and cohesive at display sizes, pairing bold presence with enough stroke modulation to avoid monotony. The combination of sturdy slabs and energetic slant suggests a focus on attention-grabbing typography for editorial and branded communication.
In the sample text, the italic angle and slab terminals create a pronounced baseline motion, while the weight keeps word shapes compact and high-impact. Numerals appear sturdy and headline-friendly, matching the letterforms’ bold, no-nonsense tone.
