A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with stout, bracketed slabs and mostly flat-ended terminals that give the letterforms a carved, blocky presence. Strokes are thick and steady with moderate modulation, and the shapes lean into broad proportions and generous counters for a punchy, open texture. The lowercase shows a robust, slightly bouncy rhythm with strong shoulders and rounded joins, while the caps maintain a firm, sign-like silhouette. Numerals match the weight and slant, reading bold and stable with wide, rounded forms.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, and bold branding where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It also fits packaging and label-style applications that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab serif with built-in motion from the italic angle.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a retro headline feel that suggests classic posters, sports identity, and bold editorial display. Its italic slant adds motion and urgency, turning the heavy slabs into something more dynamic than purely formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a confident, industrial slab-serif structure while using an italic slant to keep the texture lively and forward-moving. The wide, heavy forms and squared-off finishing details point to a display-first intent for attention-grabbing titles and identity work.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for display sizes, creating a dense, impactful line color without collapsing counters. The strong serifs and thick joins create a durable, ink-friendly look that remains legible in short bursts of text, especially in headings.
