A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and a soft, rounded treatment of corners. Strokes are thick and broadly consistent, with blocky, unbracketed slab terminals that read as squared-off but not sharp. Counters are relatively small, apertures tend to be tight, and the overall silhouette feels dense and sturdy. The italic construction shows a clear forward slant and slightly dynamic, swelling shapes, while keeping a consistent, bold rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, merch graphics, and bold branding where impact and personality matter. It also fits packaging and signage that benefits from a sturdy, retro-leaning voice, especially in short phrases and large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a nostalgic, sign-painter/athletic-postering energy. Its chunky slabs and friendly curves give it an approachable, slightly cartoonish confidence that feels energetic rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a confident italic motion, pairing stout slab serifs with rounded, friendly contours. The goal appears to be a display workhorse that feels vintage-inspired and energetic while staying highly legible at headline scales.
The design reads best when given room: the dense forms and tight counters can visually fill in at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize its strong silhouettes and lively slant. The numerals share the same heavy, compact build, supporting cohesive headline and display use.
