A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick with modest contrast and mostly squared-off terminals, creating a dense, high-impact texture in text. The italic construction is clearly drawn rather than simply slanted, with energetic curves and strong entry/exit shaping in lowercase. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is punchy and compact, with a solid baseline presence and confident, blocky figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts where a strong italic voice is desirable. It can work well for sports or entertainment branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from chunky slabs and a dynamic, slanted rhythm. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the tight counters and heavy color have room to breathe.
The tone feels bold and attention-grabbing, with a retro, poster-like confidence. Its chunky slabs and animated italic stance suggest motion and emphasis, reading as lively and slightly theatrical rather than quiet or delicate.
Designed to deliver maximum emphasis with a spirited italic slab-serif personality—combining sturdy, square-ended slabs with a lively forward lean for impactful display typography.
Uppercase forms come across as firm and architectural, while the lowercase adds more swing and friendliness, especially in rounded letters and the single-storey-style shapes implied by the sample. Numerals match the weight and stance well, supporting display settings where consistency and impact matter more than lightness or airiness.
