A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, confident strokes and a compact vertical rhythm. Serifs are thick and blocky with softened corners and subtle bracketing, giving the joins a slightly “poured ink” feel. Curves are generous and rounded, counters are fairly tight, and terminals often finish with blunt, squared-off ends. The alphabet shows a mildly irregular, hand-cut rhythm—especially in diagonals and bowls—while maintaining consistent weight and a strong, poster-friendly silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short text where the bold slabs and italic forward motion can carry personality—such as packaging, event posters, sports or retro-themed branding, and punchy signage. It can work for brief passages in larger sizes, but its tight counters and strong stylization favor display applications.
The overall tone feels energetic and nostalgic, reminiscent of mid-century display lettering and athletic branding. Its chunky slabs and buoyant italic motion read as friendly but assertive, with a slightly whimsical, vintage personality rather than a strictly formal one.
The design appears intended as a characterful display slab that combines sturdy, square-ended serifs with an energetic italic slant, aiming for high impact and a vintage-leaning, brandable voice.
Uppercase forms lean toward sturdy, sign-like shapes, while the lowercase is more animated with loopier bowls and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals are equally weighty and characterful, designed to stand out at display sizes and in short bursts of text.
