A sturdy italic slab-serif with heavy, rounded strokes and gently bracketed serifs that read as thick blocks rather than hairlines. The forms are fairly compact with broad curves, generous counters, and a consistent rightward slant that adds momentum without feeling cursive. Terminals tend to be squared-off yet softened, and the numerals and capitals share a steady, rhythmic texture suited to impactful setting.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and display typography where its robust slabs and italic motion can carry the design. It suits branding and packaging that want a confident, slightly vintage voice, and it can also fit sports or event graphics where emphasis and momentum matter.
The overall tone feels energetic and confident, with a slightly retro, poster-like character. Its bold, slanted stance suggests motion and assertiveness, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a slab-serif with the speed and emphasis of an italic, creating a compact, high-impact texture. Its softened geometry suggests a goal of staying readable and friendly while still feeling assertive and attention-grabbing.
In text, the weight and slant create a strong horizontal flow and a dark typographic color, making short lines and headlines feel punchy. Distinct slab details show most clearly at larger sizes, where the bracketed joins and squared terminals add personality.
