A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact, wedge-like slabs and subtly bracketed joins. Strokes show a clear but not extreme thick–thin pattern, with rounded transitions and occasional notch-like cuts at inner corners that read like ink traps. Counters are relatively tight and shapes are slightly condensed in places, but overall letterforms feel expansive due to the strong weight and broad presence. The lowercase uses single-storey forms (notably a and g), round i/j dots, and sturdy, squared-off terminals; the figures are robust and prominent with strong curves and solid bowls.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: posters, headlines, punchy subheads, sports or team-style branding, and packaging or signage that needs immediate presence. It can work for short emphatic blurbs or pull quotes, but the heavy texture suggests using generous size and spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a sporty, poster-forward flavor. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs give it a sense of motion and impact, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than severe. The texture in text feels lively and rhythmic, evoking vintage advertising and bold editorial styling.
Designed to deliver bold, forward-leaning emphasis with a sturdy slab-serif foundation. The combination of compact slabs, softened joins, and ink-trap-like detailing suggests an intention to stay crisp and recognizable under heavy weight while keeping a spirited, retro-leaning voice.
In the sample text, the dark color and tight counters create a dense typographic color that favors short lines and larger sizes. The slab serifs stay firm under the italic angle, helping maintain strong baselines and clear word shapes even with the pronounced weight.
