A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and a sturdy, workmanlike build. Strokes are thick and largely even, with subtly tapered joins and small, wedge-like transitions that keep counters open at display sizes. Serifs read as blunt and blocky with slight bracketing, giving terminals a carved, stamp-like finish. The lowercase is tightly set with rounded bowls and firm entry/exit strokes, while the numerals are solid and wide, designed to hold up under bold rendering.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks where strong presence is needed. It can also work for short editorial callouts or packaging text, especially when you want a vintage, print-forward voice and durable letterforms that reproduce clearly.
The overall tone is assertive and nostalgic, evoking classic print, athletic/collegiate lettering, and mid-century advertising. Its italic slant and chunky slabs add momentum and punch, making text feel energetic without turning informal or quirky.
Designed to deliver a bold, readable italic slab serif optimized for display impact, combining sturdy construction with a classic, print-era flavor. The squared terminals and uniform weight aim for reliable clarity and a distinctive, poster-ready silhouette.
The face shows a consistent, squared-off terminal language across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping it feel cohesive in headlines. The rhythm is slightly condensed and dense, which increases perceived weight and makes word shapes feel compact and impactful.
