A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy verticals and minimal stroke modulation. Serifs are rectangular and assertive, meeting stems with crisp, mostly unbracketed joins that create a blocky, grounded silhouette. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with rounded interior shapes that soften the otherwise squared terminals. Spacing appears moderately tight, and the italic construction introduces a lively, forward rhythm across words while keeping letterforms stable and legible.
Well-suited for attention-grabbing headlines, subheads, and display typography where a strong typographic color is desirable. It can work effectively in editorial lead-ins, promotional materials, and branding systems that need a bold, energetic slab voice. Short to medium text blocks are readable, especially when set with comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone feels energetic and workmanlike, pairing a no-nonsense slab structure with an action-oriented slant. It reads as confident and slightly retro, with a sporty, headline-forward presence rather than a delicate or formal voice.
Likely designed to provide a forceful slab-serif presence with an italicized, forward-driving cadence, balancing rugged structure with practical clarity. The emphasis appears to be on impactful display use while retaining enough openness and consistency for readable supporting text.
Capitals are compact and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the font’s strong typographic color. The italic angle is consistent and helps long lines of text maintain momentum without becoming overly stylized.
