A very heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, block-like terminals. Serifs read as thick and strongly bracketed, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the mass from feeling rigid. Strokes are largely even, with subtle shaping and occasional notch-like cut-ins at joins that add a slightly carved, ink-trap-adjacent texture. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is compact and muscular, favoring bold silhouettes over fine detail.
Best suited to display settings where bold presence and quick recognition matter—headlines, deck copy, posters, and attention-grabbing packaging. It can also serve in sports or event branding and large-scale editorial typography, especially when you want a retro-leaning, high-impact voice.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a distinctly vintage, poster-minded flavor. It suggests momentum and impact—confident and a bit playful—while still feeling grounded and workmanlike due to the slab structure.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum emphasis with a friendly, rounded slab-serif build and a dynamic italic stance. Its geometry prioritizes strong silhouettes, sturdy serifs, and readable counters to stay legible at large sizes while projecting punch and character.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and headline-oriented, with wide bowls and strong horizontals; numerals match the same chunky, forward-driving feel. In text, the slant and dense weight create a fast, emphatic color that benefits from ample leading and short line lengths.
