A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad, blocky serifs and mostly flat terminals. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with gentle rounding and subtle bracketing where stems meet serifs, giving the shapes a sturdy, carved look rather than razor-sharp geometry. Counters are moderately open and the lowercase shows compact joins (notably in m/n) with a slightly condensed, energetic rhythm. The overall texture is dense and headline-forward, with strong horizontal emphasis from the slabs and a consistent forward lean throughout.
Best used at display sizes where the thick strokes and slab details can project maximum impact—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and energetic branding. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a dense, assertive typographic color, but it will feel strongest in bold, compact statements rather than extended reading.
The tone reads confident and high-impact, with a vintage editorial and athletic flavor. Its slanted, chunky construction feels dynamic and urgent, suited to messaging that wants to sound bold, determined, and a bit nostalgic.
This design appears intended to combine the authority and stability of a slab serif with the motion of an italic, creating a powerful display face for energetic, attention-led typography. The emphasis is on strong silhouettes, consistent weight, and a punchy rhythm that holds up in bold, high-contrast layouts.
The numerals are weighty and attention-grabbing, matching the uppercase’s strong presence. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) keep a smooth, rounded silhouette that balances the rectangular slabs, producing a sturdy but lively word shape in longer text lines.
