A heavy italic slab serif with broad, slightly flared proportions and sturdy rectangular serifs. Strokes show clear thick-to-thin modulation, with weight concentrated in the main stems and fuller curves, giving the face a sculpted, energetic rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and joins are firm and squared-off, producing a compact, muscular texture in text. The overall color is dark and assertive, with a strong forward slant and tight, purposeful internal spacing.
Best suited to large sizes where its slab structure and contrast can read clearly: headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers where a strong, energetic italic voice is needed.
The tone feels bold and promotional, with a classic print and signage sensibility. It conveys confidence and momentum—more headline-driven than bookish—suggesting vintage advertising, sports branding, and punchy editorial emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, retro-leaning slab italic voice with enough contrast and structure to stay legible while projecting authority. Its proportions and heavy serifs prioritize presence and recognizability in display settings.
Figures are weighty and stable, matching the letters’ slabbed construction and maintaining consistent emphasis in mixed copy. The italic angle is pronounced, and the slab terminals stay crisp, helping the style read as deliberate display typography rather than a casual oblique.
