A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, low-modulation strokes. The serifs are thick and block-like with squared ends and subtle bracketing, giving joins a reinforced, anchored feel. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while curves are slightly squarish and flattened, producing a blunt, poster-oriented silhouette. The italic angle is consistent across the set, with rounded forms keeping a smooth rhythm despite the dense color.
Best used for headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, energetic presence is needed. It can work well for packaging and labels, sports or event graphics, and editorial display settings that benefit from a strong, retro-leaning slab serif voice. In longer passages it is most comfortable at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone reads bold and approachable, with a clear retro display flavor. Its chunky slabs and lively slant suggest energy and motion, while the rounded squareness keeps it friendly rather than severe. It feels suited to attention-grabbing typography that still aims to be readable and warm.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, slanted slab serif for display typography, prioritizing dense color, strong silhouettes, and a lively rhythm. Its squared terminals and thick serifs emphasize robustness and visibility, while the softened curves keep the character approachable.
Digits and capitals share the same sturdy, squared-off logic, creating strong uniform color in lines of text. The lowercase maintains a clear, steady texture at large sizes, though the weight and pronounced serifs make it most impactful where spacing and size can breathe.
