A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions, chunky slabs, and softly bracketed joins that keep the texture cohesive at large sizes. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with rounded terminals and subtle notch-like ink-trap cuts in tight interior corners. Counters are relatively generous for the weight, while the overall rhythm stays punchy and compact due to the strong horizontal slabs and short, sturdy extenders.
Best used for display settings where impact matters: headlines, poster typography, bold branding, apparel graphics, and packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a dense, high-contrast texture without sacrificing legibility at larger sizes.
The tone is energetic and extroverted, mixing vintage display swagger with a sporty, headline-first confidence. Its softened corners and rounded shapes prevent the weight from feeling harsh, giving it a friendly, crowd-pleasing voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears aimed at producing maximum visual punch with a warm, approachable edge—combining robust slab construction, a pronounced slant, and controlled contrast to create distinctive, high-ink silhouettes for advertising and identity work.
Letterforms have a slightly bouncy, informal feel from the pronounced slant and the way bowls and joints resolve into broad slabs. Numerals and capitals read especially solid and emblematic, with strong silhouettes that hold up well in short bursts of text.
