A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, bracketed slabs that read clearly at display sizes. Strokes are thick and confident, with noticeable (but not delicate) modulation and rounded transitions that soften the otherwise blocky construction. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with full, bowl-driven forms. Numerals are robust and slightly compressed by the overall mass, keeping a consistent, poster-ready rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short, high-impact copy where its mass and slant can do the work of grabbing attention. It also fits branding systems for sports, food, or entertainment, and can add a retro-flavored voice to packaging, labels, and social graphics.
The tone is bold and extroverted, mixing vintage signage energy with a friendly, almost cartoonish warmth. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs give it momentum and confidence, making it feel sporty and attention-grabbing rather than formal or literary.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that combines strong serifs with a dynamic slant, prioritizing bold presence and legibility in large-scale applications. Rounded shaping and open counters suggest an aim for approachability alongside power.
In text, the dense color and strong serifs create a pronounced texture and horizontal presence, which can dominate layouts if used at small sizes. The italics feel more like a designed oblique with maintained slab structure, preserving a solid, punchy silhouette.
