A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a springy, emphatic rhythm. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation and generous, bracketed slabs that read clearly at display sizes. Curves are full and rounded, with soft joins and occasional ball-like terminals that add warmth to the otherwise sturdy construction. The lowercase has a friendly, compact texture with a single-story “a” and “g” and a pronounced, italic flow that keeps counters open despite the weight.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short promotional copy where the heavy slabs and italic slant can do the work of grabbing attention. It can also support branding, packaging, and signage that want a vintage-leaning, high-impact voice, especially when set with ample spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and nostalgic, combining the sturdiness of a slab serif with the motion of an italic. It feels outgoing and attention-grabbing, with a slightly playful, old-school print character suited to bold statements and expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver strong display impact with a classic slab-serif backbone, while the italic angle and rounded details inject motion and approachability. It balances rugged, print-inspired structure with a friendly, contemporary smoothness for expressive, punchy typography.
Capitals are strong and blocky with consistent serif treatment, while the lowercase introduces more personality through rounded terminals and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the weight and slanted posture, keeping the set cohesive for short, impactful number use.
