A heavy, right-leaning serif with slab-like, bracketed feet and a compact, tightly fit silhouette. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation that reads as a vigorous, drawn rhythm rather than purely geometric construction. Curves are full and slightly compressed, counters stay open, and terminals often finish in wedge-like or slabbed ends that reinforce a sturdy baseline. Overall spacing appears snug, producing a dense, high-ink texture that holds together well in short lines and display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and poster-style typography where its dense color and slanted energy can lead the page. It can add a confident, vintage-leaning voice to branding and packaging, particularly for sports, heritage, or craft-oriented themes. In longer passages, it works most naturally at larger sizes where the tight spacing and strong contrast remain comfortable.
The tone is assertive and energetic, mixing old-school print personality with a contemporary punch. It feels athletic and headline-forward, but with enough serif character to suggest editorial craft and heritage. The slanted stance adds momentum, giving text a forward-driving, persuasive feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful italic serif with slab-influenced finishing, balancing readability with a strong graphic signature. Its compact fit and lively modulation suggest a focus on impactful editorial and display use where personality and momentum are desirable.
Uppercase forms read broad and stable while the lowercase introduces more motion through angled stems and varied entry/exit strokes. Numerals are sturdy and simplified, matching the strong baseline weight and the font’s compact rhythm. The overall texture favors impact over airiness, especially in continuous text.
