A condensed italic slab serif with sturdy, block-like serifs and mostly low stroke contrast. The forms lean decisively forward and keep a compact footprint, with short ascenders/descenders and a relatively even color in text. Serifs read as squared-off slabs with slight bracketing in places, and many strokes finish with crisp, angled cuts that add snap to the rhythm. Counters are fairly tight and the overall construction feels engineered and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text at larger sizes where the compact italic stance and slab serifs can provide impact. It can work well for editorial display typography, sports or collegiate-style branding, posters, and packaging that benefits from a bold, energetic serif voice without relying on high contrast.
The tone is energetic and purposeful—classic in its serif vocabulary, but driven by a fast, headline-like slant. It suggests editorial authority with a touch of vintage sports or poster styling, balancing tradition with a punchy, forward motion.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient display italic with a firm slab-serif backbone. Its consistent weight, tight proportions, and crisp terminals aim for high-impact readability and a confident, brisk typographic rhythm.
Capitals appear tall and compact, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike texture with clear italic cues. Numerals are sturdy and legible at display sizes, matching the same angled finishing and slab presence seen in the letters.
