A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, tightly packed feel in both capitals and lowercase. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast, and the slab serifs are sturdy and mostly square-ended, softened by gentle bracketing and rounded joins that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Counters are relatively small and the overall rhythm is dense, producing a strong black page color. The lowercase includes several single-storey forms and ball-like terminals, and the figures share the same robust, slightly condensed-in-the-counters construction for a cohesive, poster-ready set.
Best for headlines, short bursts of copy, and branding where you want immediate impact and a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice. It fits well on posters, packaging, labels, and sports or event graphics, and can also work for pull quotes or signage where the dense weight supports visibility.
The tone reads bold and upbeat with a retro, sign-painting-adjacent warmth. Its exaggerated weight and slanted stance give it an energetic, sporty confidence that feels attention-seeking without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that combines classic, sign-like sturdiness with a lively italic drive. Its wide set, heavy slabs, and rounded detailing prioritize personality and presence over delicate text economy.
In text, the heavy serifs and tight internal spaces create strong emphasis and a chunky texture, making the face better suited to larger sizes than long passages. The italic slant is pronounced enough to add motion, while the rounded shaping at corners and terminals helps maintain friendliness at display scale.
