A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are robust and slightly modulated, with squared slab terminals and softened corners that keep the texture friendly rather than rigid. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and sturdy, single-storey forms, while the uppercase has wide, stable silhouettes that read as poster-ready. Numerals match the letterweight with rounded bowls and firm slab finishing, maintaining an even, emphatic rhythm across text.
Best suited to display sizes where its strong slabs and italic drive can lead: headlines, poster typography, product packaging, and sports or event branding. It can also work for short editorial callouts and pull quotes where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a vintage, sports-and-editorial feel. Its chunky slabs and italic slant convey momentum and confidence, giving headlines a loud, decisive voice while still feeling approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a brisk, italicized rhythm, combining sturdy slab construction with softened detailing for a contemporary-retro display voice.
Spacing appears generous and the shapes are drawn to hold together in dense settings, creating a dark, even color. The mix of squared terminals and subtly rounded joins adds warmth and helps prevent the letterforms from feeling overly mechanical.
