A sturdy italic slab serif with heavy, block-like serifs and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are mostly even in weight, producing a dense, solid texture, while tight apertures and compact counters keep the silhouettes efficient. Terminals and serif ends read as squared-off and blunt, with subtle bracketing that helps joins feel reinforced rather than sharp. The rhythm is energetic and consistent across caps and lowercase, with strong diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X) and rounded forms (O, C, G) that stay firmly controlled.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the heavy italic presence can carry tone—headlines, deck type, posters, and packaging callouts. It can also work for editorial lead-ins or pull quotes where a forceful, vintage-leaning emphasis is desired, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the compact counters.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, combining a vintage, print-forward flavor with a more athletic, headline-ready urgency. Its italic slant adds motion and emphasis, making the voice feel persuasive and action-oriented rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic slab voice: strong, stable letterforms with squared serif geometry that reads quickly and commands attention. Its consistent weight and compact shaping suggest a focus on impactful display typography that stays coherent across mixed-case and numerals.
Figures are broad and robust, matching the weight and presence of the letters; curved numerals maintain the same sturdy proportions as the alphabet. In text, the strong serifs and compact internal spaces create a high-impact grayscale that favors emphasis and display over airy lightness.
