A heavy, slanted slab serif with compact counters and strongly bracketed, block-like serifs. Strokes feel sculpted rather than geometric, with rounded corners and subtle modulation that keeps the forms lively at large sizes. The letters are broad and sturdy, with a slightly condensed internal space and a steady rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals match the same muscular build, with rounded bowls and firm terminals that emphasize impact.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of copy where strong presence and character are desirable. It can work well for sports and team-style branding, bold packaging labels, and large-format signage where the chunky slabs and italic movement help commands stand out.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a classic, workmanlike flavor that reads as vintage and energetic. Its angled stance and chunky slabs suggest motion and confidence, making it feel at home in expressive, attention-seeking settings.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a vintage-leaning slab serif voice—combining stout, bracketed serifs with an energetic slant for dynamic display typography.
Diagonal joins and bracketed slabs give the face a carved, almost stamped look, while the tight apertures and heavy weight create strong black shapes. The overall texture is dense and emphatic, favoring display clarity over delicate detail.
