A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad proportions and low stroke contrast. Serifs are thick and blocky with a slightly bracketed feel, giving corners a softened, carved look rather than sharp mechanical joins. The overall rhythm is assertive and steady, with sturdy stems, generous counters, and a forward-leaning stance that keeps the texture energetic while remaining solid and readable.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, cover lines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where a strong, confident voice is needed. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, especially when you want an italic emphasis that remains blocky and substantial.
The tone feels bold and workmanlike, with a classic, slightly retro flavor reminiscent of display typography used for headlines, posters, and sporting or institutional graphics. Its slanted weight adds momentum and urgency, while the slab construction keeps it grounded and authoritative.
Likely designed to deliver a forceful, attention-grabbing italic slab voice that balances speed (through slant) with durability (through heavy, squared serifs). The intent appears to be a versatile display face that reads clearly at larger sizes while projecting a traditional, no-nonsense character.
Uppercase forms read broad and stable, and the numerals are similarly hefty and clear, with strong horizontal elements and consistent slab endings. The italics appear more like an oblique cut—maintaining structural firmness—so the slant contributes emphasis without becoming calligraphic.
