A heavy, slanted slab serif with compact proportions and rounded, softened corners. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, and the serifs are thick, blocky, and gently bracketed into the stems, giving the shapes a solid, carved feel. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean toward closed, producing dense, high-impact word shapes. Curves are full and smooth (notably in O/Q/C), while terminals and joins stay stout and stable, maintaining an even rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best used at headline and display sizes where its dense texture and strong serifs can do the heavy lifting. It works well for posters, bold editorial callouts, packaging labels, and branding systems that want a vintage-leaning, energetic voice. The thick shapes and sturdy rhythm also translate well to signage and team or event graphics where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured with a distinctly retro flavor. Its chunky slabs and forward slant suggest motion and punch, balancing toughness with approachable, rounded detailing. The result feels well-suited to energetic, down-to-earth messaging rather than delicate or formal typography.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a dependable slab-serif structure and an italicized, forward-leaning stance. The softened corners and bracketed slabs aim to keep the weight feeling friendly and readable while still projecting strength and momentum in larger settings.
Lowercase forms read sturdy and compact, with short extenders and a strongly unified color on the line. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and stance, appearing designed for display impact with clear, simple silhouettes and minimal interior delicacy.
