A bold, right-leaning slab-serif with chunky, rectangular serifs and low stroke contrast. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with a strong horizontal emphasis, and the italics read as an oblique with sturdy, slightly bracketed slab joins rather than delicate calligraphic modulation. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are fairly compact, giving the face a dense, punchy color in text. Numerals and caps share the same heavy, squared-off construction and consistent slanted rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and other display settings where a bold italic voice needs to read quickly and command attention. It can also work for packaging and editorial pull quotes where a compact, high-impact slab-serif texture helps create emphasis and momentum.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, with a sporty, poster-ready impact and a hint of vintage newspaper or athletic branding. Its strong slanted stance adds urgency and motion, while the slab structure keeps it grounded and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic slab-serif voice that combines motion and sturdiness—aiming for immediate impact, strong word shapes, and a confident, contemporary-meets-retro display character.
Capitals feel especially robust and headline-forward, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear silhouettes and sturdy terminals. The consistent slant and heavy serifs create a strong baseline and word-shape rhythm that stands out in short bursts of text.
