A sturdy italic slab-serif with a pronounced rightward slant, broad proportions, and thick, blocky serifs that read as slightly bracketed rather than hairline-sharp. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with subtle curved joins that keep the texture from feeling rigid. Counters are moderately tight and apertures tend toward compact, producing a dense, emphatic rhythm in text. The figures are bold and blunt, with strong horizontals and squared-off endings that match the slab construction.
Best suited to headlines and prominent typography where weight and italic motion can do the heavy lifting—posters, packaging, branding, and sports or collegiate-style graphics. It also fits book covers and editorial feature titling, especially where a vintage, sturdy voice is desired.
The font projects a classic, workmanlike confidence—more vintage than modern—combining an editorial sturdiness with a touch of sporty, headline energy. Its italic momentum adds urgency and motion while the slabs keep the tone grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic italic slab voice: energetic and attention-grabbing, yet traditional in construction. Its consistent, thick strokes and solid serifs prioritize impact and readability at larger sizes, with enough refinement to feel at home in curated editorial layouts.
In the sample text, the overall color is dark and consistent, with clear word shapes driven by strong serifs and the steady slant. Round letters like O/Q remain robust and closed, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) feel punchy and built for impact. The overall impression is of a display-leaning slab that can still hold together in short text blocks due to its uniform stroke weight and disciplined spacing.
