A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are robust and slightly modulated, with thick, bracketed slabs and softened joins that keep the letterforms from feeling rigid. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with rounded bowls, while terminals and serifs read as chunky wedges with subtle curvature. Overall spacing is generous and the rhythm is energetic, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and attention-first editorial callouts where a sturdy italic slab can carry impact. It also fits sports or event titling and promotional graphics that need a forceful, kinetic look without resorting to ultra-condensed forms.
The tone is bold and extroverted, mixing a vintage print feel with a contemporary, punchy voice. Its slanted stance and big slabs suggest motion and emphasis, lending an assertive, headline-forward personality that still feels approachable rather than severe.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum emphasis in a slanted slab-serif voice, combining classic, bracketing serif cues with rounded, modern shaping for readable, high-impact display typography.
The design holds up well at display sizes where the bracketed slabs and rounded shaping become a defining feature. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and weighty stress will concentrate darkness, so it benefits from ample size and comfortable leading. Numerals are similarly stout and attention-grabbing, matching the letterforms’ strong presence.
