A sturdy italic slab-serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are thick and largely even, with only modest modulation, and the joins and curves are kept tight for a compact, punchy silhouette. The serifs read as blocky and supportive, often slightly bracketed, giving letters a grounded, built-up feel. Counters are relatively small in the heaviest forms, and spacing appears steady, producing a dense, high-impact text color, especially in caps and bold numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short bursts of copy where impact and momentum matter. It can work well for sports or event branding, bold editorial leads, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics, particularly at medium to large sizes where the tight counters and dense color remain clear.
The overall tone feels sporty and assertive, with a classic, slightly retro flavor. Its italic stance and blocky serifs add forward motion and confidence, lending it a headline-driven, promotional energy rather than a quiet, bookish demeanor.
The design intent appears to be a forceful italic slab that combines speed and stability: a forward-leaning stance paired with blocky serifs to keep the forms anchored. It aims to deliver a confident, old-school display voice that reads as both functional and emphatic.
The character set shown emphasizes strong horizontals and firm baseline anchoring, with a consistent slanted rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Numerals are weighty and attention-grabbing, matching the letterforms’ compact interiors and reinforcing a poster-like presence.
