A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and brisk rhythm. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast, and the serifing reads as sturdy and blocklike, with small brackets that keep joins from feeling abrupt. Counters are relatively tight and curves are compact, giving the letters a dense, punchy silhouette. The lowercase shows sturdy, slightly calligraphic movement in the italic, and the figures match the weight and slant with rounded forms and strong, stable bases.
Best suited to headlines, short blurbs, and branding where a strong, high-ink silhouette is desirable. It works well on posters, packaging, and apparel-style graphics that benefit from a dynamic italic. In longer passages it will read as dense and commanding, making it most effective when used for emphasis rather than extended body copy.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a vintage, poster-like presence. Its italic slant adds motion and urgency, while the thick slabs project confidence and impact. The feel lands between classic display typography and sporty branding—strong, loud, and attention-forward rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive italic display voice—pairing robust slab serifs with wide proportions for a strong, legible presence at large sizes. It emphasizes momentum and authority, aiming for bold communication in advertising, identity work, and headline typography.
Spacing and color appear intentionally dark and even, creating a solid typographic block in text. Diagonals and joins feel reinforced, and the italic construction maintains consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals for a unified, emphatic voice.
