A heavy, oblique slab serif with sturdy, rectangular forms and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. Serifs read as thick slabs with subtle bracketing, giving strokes a grounded, engineered feel rather than a sharp, delicate one. Counters are relatively compact and the joins stay firm, while the italic angle adds forward motion without becoming calligraphic. Overall spacing feels even and the letterforms maintain a strong, punchy rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where a strong, slanted slab serif can carry the message. It’s a good fit for sports branding, event promotion, packaging titles, and editorial display typography that needs a bold, vintage-leaning voice.
The tone is confident and energetic, combining a vintage sports/editorial flavor with an industrial toughness. Its forward slant and chunky slabs create a sense of momentum and impact, making it feel bold and declarative rather than quiet or refined.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a robust slab-serif skeleton and a dynamic italic posture. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent stroke strength to stay legible and forceful at display sizes, while maintaining enough structure to work in punchy subheads.
In running text the weight and slant produce a dense, high-ink color that works best when you want presence. The numerals match the same blocky, italicized construction, helping headlines and callouts feel cohesive across letters and figures.
