A heavy, right-leaning serif with slab-like, strongly bracketed terminals and a slightly sculpted, stamped look. Strokes stay largely sturdy and even, with subtle thick–thin modulation and pronounced, wedgey finishing on diagonals and joins. The forms are broad and open, with generous horizontal presence and compact inner counters that keep the color dense. Curves are firm rather than delicate, and many terminals end in squared or beaked slabs that give the letters a crisp, assertive edge.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact typographic voice is needed. It can work for short editorial callouts, packaging fronts, and sports or event graphics, especially when set large enough for the bracketed slabs and energetic slant to carry the design.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, mixing classic print authority with a lively, slightly nostalgic slant. It feels sporty and attention-grabbing, suitable for situations where impact and personality matter more than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, editorial serif voice with forward-leaning motion and strong slab terminals, balancing vintage print cues with modern display punch.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a forward motion in text. The numerals appear sturdy and display-oriented, matching the strong typographic color of the alphabet. Spacing in the sample suggests the design favors headline sizes where the slab terminals and angled stress read clearly.
