A heavy italic serif with broad proportions and pronounced, slab-like terminals. Strokes show clear modulation, with thick verticals and narrower joins, while the letterforms lean consistently forward. Serifs are short and strongly bracketed, and many joins flare into wedge-like feet that add a carved, slightly ink-trapped feel. Counters are compact but not pinched, and the overall texture reads dense and lively, with rounded curves and occasional ball-like terminals in the lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where strong presence and character are desired. It can work for pull quotes or section headers, but the dense weight and italic angle make it less ideal for long-form body copy.
The tone is bold and energetic with a vintage, poster-like charisma. It feels upbeat and assertive, suggesting classic Americana and sporty headline lettering while staying approachable rather than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum emphasis with a forward-leaning stance and robust, bracketed slabs, balancing nostalgic display character with legible, contemporary proportions.
Lowercase forms emphasize motion through their italic entry/exit strokes and pronounced terminals, giving text a rolling rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and attention-grabbing, with simplified, sign-painting-like curves that keep them readable at display sizes.
