A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes are stout and largely monolinear, with softened corners and subtly irregular, inked-looking contours. The serifs read as chunky slabs with slight bracketing, and many joins show small notches and wedge-like cuts that add texture. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and the overall color is dense but kept readable by clear inner shapes and generous letter spacing in the sample.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, and short punchy statements where its heavy texture and slanted rhythm can carry the message. It can also work well for branding applications like labels, packaging, and logotypes, especially when a vintage or rugged voice is desired.
The tone is spirited and punchy, with a vintage, poster-like attitude. Its lively slant and chunky slabs evoke old print ephemera—signage, headlines, and display typography that feels confident, a bit roughened, and intentionally characterful.
Likely designed to deliver strong impact with a nostalgic, printed feel, combining stout slab serifs with a lively forward motion. The small cut-ins and softened edges suggest an intention to mimic ink spread and wear, adding personality without sacrificing legibility at display sizes.
Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while lowercase shows more personality through varied entry/exit strokes and distinctive terminals. Numerals are weighty and rounded with the same cut-in details, keeping a consistent, handcrafted rhythm across the set.
