A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with thick, sturdy strokes and compact proportions. The serifs read as squared blocks with clean joins, giving letters a firm, stamped look, while many terminals show softened corners that keep the mass from feeling brittle. Curves are broad and closed, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, producing strong word shapes in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same robust, slightly condensed construction and maintain consistent weight and slant.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent labels where impact and momentum are needed. It can work well for sports branding, event graphics, packaging, and signage that benefits from a tough, vintage-leaning slab serif voice.
The tone is bold and assertive with a distinctly retro, poster-like energy. Its italic slant and chunky slabs add motion and confidence, suggesting athletic, automotive, or workwear cues rather than a delicate literary voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in an italic slab serif—combining blocky serifs, dense color, and a steady slant to create fast, confident typography for display-led communication.
The design relies on large, simple interior spaces and a strong baseline presence, which makes it read well at medium-to-large sizes where the slab details and rounded edges can be appreciated. In longer text blocks it creates a dark, energetic texture with pronounced emphasis.
