A heavy, slanted slab-serif with chunky, squared-off terminals and broad, blunt serifs that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate feet. The strokes are largely uniform, keeping contrast low, while the italic angle gives the forms forward motion. Counters are relatively tight and apertures can be compact, creating dense black shapes with strong silhouette clarity. The overall rhythm is robust and slightly condensed-feeling in texture, with round letters like O/C staying sturdy and squared in presence, and straights and diagonals cut with crisp edges.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, apparel and sports branding, labels, and bold packaging systems. It can also work for short callouts, price cards, or wayfinding-style signage where the sturdy slab forms and italic momentum help messages land quickly.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a retro-commercial confidence that feels at home in signage and headline-driven design. Its italic slant adds urgency and motion, while the slab structure contributes a workwear, industrial reliability. The result is a loud, no-nonsense voice that leans sporty and vintage rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a slanted slab-serif voice—combining industrial sturdiness with a vintage, ad-like cadence for attention-grabbing typography. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a dense, confident texture that holds up well in large-scale applications.
At text sizes the weight and compact interiors create a strong typographic color, so spacing and line length will noticeably affect readability. Numerals match the same hefty, squared character and maintain consistent emphasis alongside capitals.
