A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, punchy silhouette. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with weight concentrating in the main stems and swelling into thick, rounded slabs and bracket-like joins. Curves are generously rounded and slightly bulbous, and several lowercase forms feature ball-like terminals that add softness to the otherwise blocky construction. Counters and apertures tend toward the tight side, while the overall rhythm remains steady and confident across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, product packaging, and punchy editorial lead-ins where its mass and slanted momentum can do the work. It can also support logo and sports-style branding applications that want a bold, retro-leaning voice.
The tone is bold and emphatic, mixing vintage display energy with a workmanlike, athletic feel. Its chunky slabs and italic forward lean convey motion and impact, suggesting headlines meant to be seen quickly and remembered.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum visual impact with a confident italic stance and robust slabs, balancing vintage sign-painting warmth with modern, attention-grabbing density. The rounded terminals and bracketed slabs soften the heaviness to keep it lively rather than purely rigid.
Numerals are sturdy and old-style-leaning in feel, with rounded bowls and pronounced foot/slab treatments that read well at large sizes. The italic angle is consistent and strong, giving lines of text a continuous forward push; at smaller sizes, the dense counters and thick terminals may benefit from generous spacing.
