A heavy, right-slanted slab-serif with sturdy, squared serifs and broad proportions. Strokes are robust and largely even in weight, with subtly rounded transitions that keep the forms from feeling rigid. The capitals read wide and stable with generous counters, while the lowercase shows clear, traditional serif construction (two-storey a and g) and a solid, slightly compact rhythm. Numerals are substantial and readable, matching the letterforms in width and presence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks where a forceful italic slab voice is desired. It can work well for magazine or book display typography, branding marks, and packaging that benefits from a bold, classic-meets-athletic texture.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, mixing a classic editorial voice with a sporty, poster-ready punch. Its italic angle and strong slabs give it a forward-moving, confident feel that suits emphatic messaging without becoming ornamental.
The font appears intended to deliver high-impact, slanted slab-serif typography with reliable legibility and a familiar serif tradition, tuned for attention-grabbing display use while remaining structured and readable.
The design balances square terminals with softened internal curves, producing a friendly sturdiness rather than a harsh geometric look. Spacing appears comfortable for display settings, and the oblique structure is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
