A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with broad, square-cut serifs and robust, low-contrast strokes. The forms are compact and dense, with tight internal counters and a strong horizontal emphasis from the slab terminals. Curves are simplified and sturdy rather than delicate, and joins stay solid and blunt, giving letters a firm, engineered feel. Numerals and caps carry the same weighty, punchy construction, reading clearly at large sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, poster typography, sports and team-style branding, and bold callouts where fast recognition matters. It also fits packaging or labeling that benefits from a rugged, energetic voice, and signage that needs sturdy, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is confident and forceful, with a vintage, workhorse energy reminiscent of sports lettering and industrial signage. Its bold mass and italic motion combine to feel dynamic and urgent—more about impact and momentum than refinement.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch in an italic slab-serif silhouette, pairing blocky structure with forward motion for attention-grabbing display typography. The emphasis appears to be on strength, clarity, and a retro-leaning, promotional character.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, helping lines of text create a strong rightward flow. Short, square serifs and heavy shoulders contribute to a compressed, muscular rhythm that favors display settings over long-form reading.
