A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact internal counters and broad proportions. Strokes are thick and largely even, with square-ended joins and prominent, blocky slabs that read cleanly at display sizes. Many terminals feel sheared by the italic angle, creating wedge-like cuts and occasional notch details that add bite and texture. Curves are sturdy rather than delicate, and the overall rhythm is dense, with tight apertures and a strong, poster-friendly silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence is needed: headlines, sports or team-style branding, event posters, and bold packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or subheads when a dense, high-impact typographic color is desired, though extended body text may feel heavy.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, retro-leaning confidence. Its chunky slabs and italic momentum suggest motion and impact, lending a bold, headline-driven voice that feels assertive and slightly vintage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance while retaining clear slab-serif structure. Its square, robust detailing and compact counters aim for a confident, sign-and-poster aesthetic that remains readable under bold emphasis.
The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the thick slabs remain legible even in tightly spaced text. The sample paragraph shows a dark, continuous color with strong word-shape emphasis, while smaller counters (e.g., in a/e/s) stay compact and contribute to a muscular texture.
