A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy stems and compact, blocky slabs that often taper into wedge-like ends. The serifs read as squat and assertive, with a mix of flat and subtly angled terminals that give the strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are full and rounded, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm alternates between broad, stable verticals and energetic diagonals. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, creating a lively, headline-oriented texture rather than a strictly even, text-face regularity.
Best suited for display work where strong color and slanted energy are assets—headlines, pull quotes, posters, and attention-grabbing branding. It can also work for packaging or labels that want a heritage or sporty editorial feel, and for short subheads where texture and personality matter more than quiet neutrality.
The tone feels vintage and poster-like, mixing old-school printed authority with an athletic, punchy slant. It conveys confidence and momentum, with a slightly rugged, ink-on-paper character that keeps it from feeling sterile or purely geometric.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, italicized slab-seriffed voice that reads quickly and feels decisive, with enough irregular width and terminal shaping to add character. It prioritizes impact and tone over strict uniformity, aiming for a classic print sensibility with modern punch.
Uppercase forms appear relatively wide and emphatic, while lowercase shows more bounce and individuality, especially in letters with diagonals and descenders. Numerals match the robust color of the letters and keep the same angled, display-forward stance, supporting impactful composition in titles and short bursts of copy.
