A heavy, right-leaning slab-serif with broad proportions and prominent, bracketed serifs. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the weight from feeling rigid. Counters are generally open and generous, while curves (notably in C, S, and the lowercase) have a smooth, slightly calligraphic swing. Figures are chunky and rounded, with strong baseline presence and a compact, cohesive rhythm in text.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, identity marks, and packaging where its bold slabs and energetic slant can carry the visual message. It also works well for sports-themed or retro-leaning designs and short, emphatic copy, while extended body text may feel heavy unless set with ample size and spacing.
The design reads as energetic and assertive, mixing classic slab authority with a playful, vintage bounce. Its italic slant and rounded detailing give it a friendly, forward-moving tone that feels suited to attention-grabbing, upbeat messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver high impact with a vintage-inflected, athletic attitude—combining sturdy slab serifs for authority with rounded, lively curves for approachability and motion.
The lowercase shows a distinctly cursive influence (single-storey forms and looped details), which adds personality and motion in longer lines. In dense settings the strong weight and slanted texture create a dark, continuous color, so it benefits from comfortable tracking and generous line spacing.
