A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and broad proportions. Serifs read as thick, blocky slabs with subtle bracketing that softens corners, and many terminals finish with crisp, flat cuts. Counters are generous and mostly round, giving letters like O, C, and e a smooth, open interior, while joins and shoulders stay weighty and stable. The overall rhythm is dense and punchy, with slightly varied widths across letters and a consistent forward motion from the italic slant.
Best suited to display roles where impact and clarity are priorities—headlines, posters, branded lockups, packaging callouts, and editorial feature titles. The bold slabs and italic momentum help it hold up in short text and subheads, especially when a strong, energetic tone is desired.
The tone is confident and energetic, mixing a classic slab-serif sturdiness with a lively, modern-leaning italic drive. It feels sporty and attention-grabbing without becoming quirky, making it suitable for bold statements that still need a friendly, approachable voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, slabbish voice with forward-leaning dynamism: a dependable, high-impact italic intended for attention-heavy typography that remains readable and structured.
Uppercase forms are clean and emphatic, with strong slab presence on E, F, and T, while the lowercase keeps readability through open apertures and rounded bowls. Numerals are equally robust and legible, matching the alphabet’s weight and forward-leaning stance for cohesive display settings.
