A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are compact and strongly built, with rounded bowls contrasted by flat, blocky terminals that keep the texture dense and even. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and the overall rhythm feels energetic due to the italic slant and firm, rectangular serif shapes. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, poster-like presence, staying legible through blunt joins and simplified details.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where strong presence and quick recognition matter—headlines, pull quotes, posters, logos, packaging, and sports or collegiate-style graphics. In dense paragraphs it will feel forceful and compact, making it most effective when given generous size or spacing.
The tone is assertive and purposeful, combining a classic print sensibility with a lively, forward-leaning motion. It reads as practical and no-nonsense, but with enough personality to feel sporty and slightly retro in headlines and branding.
Designed to deliver a bold, slanted slab-serif voice that holds up in impactful layouts, pairing a traditional serif foundation with a brisk, modern emphasis for attention-grabbing typography.
The heavy slabs and tight internal spaces create a dark, high-impact color on the page, especially in longer lines. The italic angle adds momentum without becoming calligraphic, keeping the style more industrial and typographic than handwritten.
