A heavy, italic slab-serif with a compact footprint and assertive, blocky construction. The serifs are broad and square-ended with subtle bracketing, giving joins a sturdy, anchored feel while keeping the overall contrast relatively even. Curves (C, O, S) stay robust and slightly squared in their terminals, and the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a forward-leaning rhythm. Lowercase forms are sturdy and somewhat condensed, with stout stems and tight apertures that emphasize density and impact.
Best suited for large-size applications where its dense, slabbed letterforms can deliver impact—headlines, subheads, posters, branding marks, and packaging callouts. It can also work for short bursts of editorial emphasis (pull quotes, section openers), where the italic drive and sturdy serifs add urgency without requiring delicate detail.
The font communicates a punchy, vintage-leaning tone with a sporty, headline-first attitude. Its forward slant and thick slabs suggest motion and confidence, evoking classic editorial display typography and traditional athletic or collegiate branding.
The design appears intended to provide a high-impact italic slab for display typography, balancing rugged, squared terminals with enough bracketing and curvature to stay readable at headline sizes. Its consistent heft and lively slant suggest a focus on attention-grabbing titles and identity work rather than long-form text.
Spacing in the sample text reads tight and energetic, with strong word shapes created by pronounced verticals and firm terminals. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, maintaining a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
