A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, steady rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even, with minimal contrast, and the serifs read as stout, squared slabs with small bracketed transitions that keep joins sturdy rather than delicate. Counters are open and round where expected (notably in O, Q, and e), while diagonals and terminals are cut cleanly, producing crisp, print-ready silhouettes. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a buoyant, rounded e, and a slightly bouncy baseline feel created by the italic slant and weighty feet on letters like n, u, and v.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter: headlines, pull quotes, posters, and bold branding systems. The broad shapes and even color also make it a good fit for short blocks of emphatic copy on packaging or promotional materials where clarity at larger sizes is key.
The tone is emphatic and energetic, blending editorial seriousness with a punchy, poster-like presence. Its slab construction and strong italic angle give it a forward-leaning, action-oriented voice that feels confident and slightly retro without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a forceful italic voice in a slab-serif framework, emphasizing speed and confidence while keeping letterforms clear and structurally simple. The overall build suggests an intent to balance high-impact display presence with legibility and consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Capitals are sturdy and spacious, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and strong internal white space that helps the weight avoid clogging. Numerals appear robust and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ slabbed, no-nonsense character and maintaining consistent density across the set.
