A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and a strongly built, blocky silhouette. The strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the slab serifs read as broad and sturdy, with squared ends and subtle bracketing where strokes meet. Counters are relatively tight and the joins are firm, giving the letterforms a dense, high-impact color on the page. The rhythm is energetic, with the italic slant and wide, flat terminals creating a crisp, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines and short text where impact matters—posters, display typography, and punchy brand marks. It can also work well for sports-oriented graphics, bold packaging, and high-contrast signage where a sturdy italic slab voice helps call attention quickly.
The overall tone feels sporty and assertive, with a vintage, workmanlike character. Its bold slabs and forward-leaning stance suggest motion and emphasis, making it feel confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, italicized slab-serif look that stays legible at display sizes while projecting strength and momentum. Its squared slabs and low-contrast construction prioritize bold presence and consistent texture over finesse.
Capitals are strongly structured and geometric in feel, while the lowercase maintains the same muscular presence and compact spacing. Numerals appear equally weighty and stable, matching the headline-oriented heft of the alphabet.
