A heavy, right-slanted slab-serif with sturdy bracketed serifs and a pronounced forward momentum. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with broad, weighty verticals and tighter interior counters that give the letters a compact, inked-in feel. Terminals and joins often form sharp wedges and slight notches, and the overall silhouette stays robust and blocky while maintaining a crisp, print-like rhythm. Numerals are equally bold and upright in construction, matching the strong baseline presence and dense color of the alphabet.
Best suited to short-form display settings where weight and slant can do the work: headlines, posters, title treatments, and bold brand statements. It can also serve for pull quotes or subheads in editorial layouts where a traditional slab structure is desired with extra urgency and impact.
The face reads confident and punchy, with an old-school editorial and sports-poster energy. Its slanted stance and hefty slabs create urgency and emphasis, while the contrast and bracketing add a traditional, headline-friendly seriousness rather than a purely industrial tone.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif authority with a more energetic, forward-leaning display personality. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, high emphasis, and a dense typographic color that holds up in large sizes and attention-grabbing compositions.
Spacing appears intentionally generous around wide capitals, while lowercase forms keep tighter apertures that amplify the dark texture in paragraphs. The italic angle feels consistent across cases, helping longer lines maintain a continuous, driving cadence.
