A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes show clear modulation, with thick stems and slightly lighter joins, and slab serifs that feel firmly bracketed rather than sharply squared. Terminals often end in rounded, ball-like finishes (notably in lowercase), giving the face a soft, cushioned texture despite its mass. The rhythm is energetic and irregular in a deliberate way, with subtly varied character widths and pronounced curves that keep lines lively in text.
Best suited to display work where strong emphasis and personality are desired, such as posters, headlines, sports-themed branding, and packaging. It can work for short editorial callouts or subheads, but its dense weight and animated forms are most effective at larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and confident with a nostalgic, print-era flavor. Its chunky slabs and italic motion suggest motion and emphasis, while the rounded terminals add a friendly, slightly whimsical edge. The result reads as attention-getting and characterful rather than restrained or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, italicized emphasis with a vintage-leaning slab foundation, combining sturdy serifs with rounded, expressive terminals to stay bold without feeling harsh.
The lowercase carries much of the personality, with conspicuous terminal shaping and a distinctly calligraphic italic influence. Numerals are heavy and rounded, matching the letterforms’ soft corners and maintaining strong presence in display settings.
