A heavy italic slab serif with broad, squared-off serifs and a compact, energetic rhythm. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with gentle modulation and softly bracketed joins that keep the forms from feeling rigid. Terminals often end in sturdy slabs, while some lowercase letters introduce rounded or teardrop-like details, adding warmth and motion. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and the numerals are bold and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ strong, forward-leaning silhouette.
This font is well suited to bold headlines, poster typography, and branding that needs impact and momentum. It fits naturally in athletic or varsity-adjacent identities, energetic packaging, and display-centric editorial callouts where a strong, slanted slab serif can carry the message quickly.
The overall tone is assertive and sporty, with a vintage, headline-ready presence. Its strong slabbing and pronounced italic angle give it a sense of speed and confidence, while the slightly softened details keep it approachable rather than severe.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum punch in display contexts, combining a classic slab-serif backbone with an italic drive for speed and emphasis. The added rounding in select terminals suggests an intention to balance toughness with a friendly, vintage-inspired character.
The design reads best at larger sizes where the tight interior spaces and robust serifs can breathe; in longer settings it will feel dense and emphatic. The italic angle is consistent and contributes to a cohesive, directional texture across words.
