A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and robust, low-contrast strokes. Serifs are blocky and clearly bracketed into the stems, with softened corners that keep the texture from feeling brittle. The rhythm is punchy and dense, helped by sturdy joins and a slightly compressed, forward-leaning silhouette. Counters remain open despite the weight, and the overall drawing favors solid, sign-like letterforms over delicate detail.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting sizes where its bold, slanted slabs can project strongly—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and signage. It can also work for emphasis in editorial layouts when a dense, confident voice is needed, though it will dominate at smaller text sizes due to its heavy color.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a vintage, workmanlike feel that reads as dependable rather than formal. Its chunky slabs and italic slant add momentum and a subtly sporty, headline-ready character.
Designed to deliver a forceful, readable slab-serif voice with forward motion, combining sturdy industrial shapes with a friendly rounding for broad display use. The emphasis appears to be on impact and clarity in attention-grabbing typography rather than refined, high-contrast elegance.
Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and stable, while the lowercase keeps a lively, sturdy texture with pronounced terminals and a noticeable forward stress. Numerals match the weight and stance of the letters, supporting a consistent, emphatic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
