A heavy, right-leaning slab-serif with compact proportions and rounded bowls, combining broad strokes with subtle curvature. The serifs read as blocky and supportive, often slightly bracketed, giving the letterforms a sturdy footprint without sharp contrast. Counters are moderately open and the rhythm is punchy, with a noticeable forward slant and energetic diagonals. Terminals tend to finish with squared-off slab shapes, while joins and inner corners feel softened, producing a slightly “carved” impression at text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a bold italic slab can carry the visual voice on its own. It also fits packaging and editorial callouts, and can work well for sporty or vintage-leaning branding that benefits from a strong, forward-moving texture.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat with a retro, print-forward character. Its italic stance and chunky slabs create a sense of motion and confidence, lending a warm, approachable toughness rather than a formal or delicate feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, energetic slab-serif italic that reads quickly and feels distinctly bold and modern-vintage. It balances sturdy, square-ended slab structure with softened curves to keep the tone friendly while remaining highly impactful.
The numerals appear strong and display-friendly, matching the dense color of the letters. In the sample text, the font maintains an even, dark texture with clear word shapes, suggesting it’s designed to hold up in emphatic lines and short blocks where personality matters as much as clarity.
