A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a sturdy, low-contrast build. Serifs are thick and square-shouldered with slight bracketing, creating a firm baseline and a consistent horizontal rhythm. Curves are full and rounded but kept tight by compact counters, while joins and inner corners show subtle notch-like cut-ins that add texture and improve separation in dense settings. The overall color is dark and even, with minimal modulation and a distinctly assertive presence.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and attention-grabbing statements where a dense, emphatic texture is an advantage. It can support branding and packaging that want a tough, heritage-leaning voice, and it works well for sports or event graphics that benefit from a forward-leaning, high-impact serif.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, blending a vintage print flavor with an energetic, display-forward swagger. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs read as bold and sporty, while the sturdy construction suggests reliability and grit rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended as a bold, slanted slab serif for display typography, prioritizing punch, stability, and consistent weight. Details like compact counters and subtle cut-ins suggest an aim to keep letterforms distinct when set large and tightly tracked, while maintaining a classic, print-rooted character.
Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, and the numerals match the same weighty, squared-off logic for cohesive headline use. In paragraphs, the strong serif rhythm and dark color create a pronounced texture that favors short, impactful lines over airy, long-form reading.
