A forceful italic slab serif with sturdy, block-like serifs and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are heavy and relatively even, with moderate contrast and slightly squared-off shaping at many terminals. Curves are compact and somewhat closed, giving counters a dense, punchy color, while joins and inner corners show subtle notching that helps keep shapes crisp at this weight. The overall rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with strong vertical presence and clear, high-impact silhouettes in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to display sizes where its italic energy and slab structure can carry a message quickly—headlines, posters, covers, and bold brand marks. It also fits packaging and sports or event graphics that benefit from a strong, forward-driving voice, while longer text will typically need larger sizes and comfortable spacing.
The tone reads assertive and classic, blending a vintage print sensibility with a sporty, headline-driven momentum. It feels confident and sturdy rather than delicate, with an editorial seriousness that can also lean into retro or industrial moods.
The design appears intended as a high-impact italic slab for attention-first typography, prioritizing strong silhouettes, compact counters, and a vigorous slanted rhythm for branding and display work.
Figures are robust and attention-grabbing, matching the letterforms’ strong slabs and italic motion. The design’s tight apertures and compact bowls create a dense texture that benefits from adequate tracking in longer settings.
