A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, bracketed terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and slightly scooped joins that create an ink-trap-like bite in places, helping counters stay open at weight. Serifs read as short, blunt slabs with gentle curvature rather than sharp right angles, giving the design a cushioned, printed feel. The lowercase is compact and robust with round bowls, while capitals are wide and emphatic; overall spacing is moderately tight, producing a dense, punchy texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks where weight and presence are desired. It also works well for packaging, signage, and sports or event graphics that benefit from a sturdy, energetic slab serif texture. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable in short bursts—pull quotes, titles, and display blocks—rather than long body copy.
The tone is bold and assertive without feeling harsh, combining a utilitarian backbone with a warm, throwback character. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs suggest motion and impact, evoking vintage packaging, athletic branding, and headline-driven editorial design.
The design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact slab serif that reads clearly at display sizes while projecting a confident, energetic voice. Its softened, bracketed details and wide stance aim to balance rugged strength with approachability, making it adaptable for mainstream editorial and commercial use.
Figures are large and blocky with simple silhouettes suited to high-impact settings. The sample text shows strong word shapes and steady rhythm at larger sizes, while the dense color and tight fit can make long passages feel heavy if set too small.
