A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and an energetic, slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with square, unbracketed slab terminals that often read as wedge-like due to the slant and sheared joins. Bowls and curves are generously rounded, while corners show crisp cuts and occasional notch-like details that give an ink-trap/woodtype flavor. The counters are open and the spacing feels roomy, contributing to a bold, high-impact silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short copy where its wide, chunky slabs can be appreciated—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when ample tracking and line spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is retro and spirited, with a handmade, poster-era swagger. Its chunky slabs and lively slant suggest show-card lettering and vintage advertising, balancing toughness with a friendly, playful warmth.
The design appears intended to evoke vintage slab-serif display typography—reinterpreting woodtype/showcard cues with a pronounced slant, broad proportions, and sturdy square serifs for maximum impact and personality.
The uppercase has a strong, stable presence with broad horizontals and distinctive slab endings, while the lowercase keeps readability through simple, open forms and a moderate x-height. Numerals match the heavy texture and wide stance, keeping the same squared terminal language for a cohesive set.
