A sturdy italic slab-serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and a noticeable rightward slant. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and crisp joins that keep letterforms compact and assertive. The lowercase shows a generous x-height and tight internal counters, giving text a dense, punchy color on the page. Numerals and caps maintain the same blocky rhythm, with rounded forms kept firm by flat terminals and strong serif brackets.
Ideal for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or institutional branding, and packaging where a strong italic presence helps lead the eye. It can work for brief editorial callouts and display lines, especially when you want dense, emphatic texture and a vintage-informed tone.
The font projects a sporty, retro-leaning confidence—like classic headlines, team branding, or mid-century advertising. Its italic angle and bold slabs add urgency and momentum, while the chunky construction keeps the tone grounded and forceful rather than delicate.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, fast-moving display italic with robust slab serifs—built for attention, legibility at a distance, and a consistent, no-nonsense rhythm across letters and numerals.
Spacing appears moderately tight in running text, which amplifies the dark texture and makes the face feel best when given room or used at larger sizes. The slab structure stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, uniform voice.
