A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions, rounded inner counters, and stout, rectangular serifs. Strokes stay largely even, with only subtle modulation, while the joins and corners show slightly softened shaping that keeps the color from feeling brittle. Uppercase forms are wide and steady, and the lowercase is similarly robust, with a single-storey a and g and a tall, assertive rhythm in extenders. Numerals are thick and open, designed to hold up at display sizes with strong, dark typographic color.
Best suited to display settings where strong emphasis and high impact are needed—headlines, pull quotes, and short bursts of copy. It can work well for branding with a rugged or athletic tone, as well as packaging and signage where bold letterforms and sturdy serifs improve presence and distance recognition.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, mixing a vintage workhorse feel with a sporty, headline-ready punch. Its italic slant adds momentum and emphasis, giving the face a persuasive, attention-grabbing voice rather than a quiet text demeanor.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, readable italic slab voice for display typography—combining sturdy slabs and broad proportions with a forward-leaning stance to create urgency and visual authority.
The spacing and weight distribution read as intentionally dense, producing a solid, poster-like texture. The slab serifs and squared terminals contribute to a sturdy, grounded silhouette, while rounded bowls and softened corners keep it approachable.
