A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a strongly sculpted silhouette. Strokes show clear contrast and deep internal shaping, with pronounced wedge-like joins and braced slab serifs that feel carved rather than purely geometric. Many letters include sharp notch cuts and flared terminals that create a rhythmic, chiseled texture across words, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and simplified forms, and several glyphs (notably diagonals and arms) pick up distinctive spur and cut-in details that add motion and bite.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging fronts, and energetic editorial callouts. It can work for short bursts of text—taglines, captions, or pull quotes—when set with comfortable spacing and enough size to preserve the interior shaping.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a vintage showcard energy that reads confident and slightly mischievous. Its strong slanted stance and punchy slabs evoke sporty signage and headline-driven print, delivering a loud, attention-grabbing personality rather than quiet neutrality.
This design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that combines classic slab-serif structure with stylized cut-ins and flared terminals to heighten energy and recognizability. The aim is to deliver instant presence and a distinctive rhythm for branding and headline typography.
In text, the notched terminals and aggressive slab bracing create a lively pattern that becomes more noticeable as sizes drop, where internal cut-ins can start to dominate. It tends to look best when given room—larger sizes, generous tracking, and short line lengths—so the distinctive detailing reads as intentional texture instead of clutter.
