A heavy, right-slanted slab-serif display face with chunky proportions and a compact internal rhythm. Strokes are thick with noticeable contrast and deeply notched joins that create a carved, ink-trap-like texture at corners and counters. Serifs read as sturdy slabs with soft bracketing, and terminals tend to be blunt and squared off, keeping silhouettes dense and graphic. The overall construction is slightly irregular in width and spacing from glyph to glyph, emphasizing a lively, poster-like cadence rather than strict uniformity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where the strong slabs and slanted forms can command attention. It also fits retro-inspired packaging, event graphics, sports-themed titling, and signage applications that benefit from a rugged, high-impact voice.
The font projects a bold, vintage personality with a gritty, workwear feel. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs evoke classic signage and athletic/industrial lettering, giving it an energetic, assertive tone that feels nostalgic without becoming delicate.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that blends italic energy with carved, high-contrast detailing to create a distinctive, vintage-leaning texture. Its sturdy serifs and dense silhouettes suggest an aim toward bold titles and branding rather than long-form reading.
In the sample text, the dense weight and corner notches stay prominent at larger sizes, where the sculpted shapes become part of the style. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and heavy joins may visually fill in, so generous tracking and shorter line lengths help preserve clarity.
