A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with soft, bracketed terminals and a strongly massed silhouette. Strokes are thick with noticeable but not extreme modulation, and the serifs read as broad, blocky feet that stay rounded rather than sharp. The lowercase has a tall x-height and stout curves, with single-storey forms and generous bowls that keep counters open despite the weight. Overall spacing is on the tight side, producing a compact, rhythmic texture that holds together well in bold display settings.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as posters, large headlines, sports or event branding, and bold packaging titles. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a dense, emphatic texture is desirable, but the weight and tight rhythm make it less ideal for long, small-size text.
The tone feels energetic and nostalgic, combining old-school headline swagger with a friendly, rounded warmth. Its chunky slabs and italic momentum give it a punchy, poster-like confidence that reads as lively rather than formal.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif presence, using rounded bracketing and an italic slant to keep the voice approachable and kinetic. The tall lowercase and sturdy serifs prioritize legibility and color at display sizes while projecting a confident, vintage-leaning personality.
Numerals are bold and characterful, with notably curvy figures that echo the lowercase’s rounded joins. The design’s soft corners and bracketing help prevent the weight from feeling harsh, while the consistent forward slant adds continuous motion across words.
