A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, punchy rhythm. Strokes are thick and sturdy with subtly bracketed slabs and rounded joins that keep the shapes from feeling sharp despite the weight. Counters are moderately open, terminals tend to be blunt, and several letters show slightly scooped or notched junctions that add a carved, display-oriented texture. Numerals match the boldness and share the same sturdy, slightly rounded detailing for a consistent color in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a bold, energetic slab serif can carry the layout. It also works well for sports-leaning identities, vintage-styled promotions, and short editorial deck copy where its strong texture and slant can be used as a graphic element.
The tone is confident and attention-grabbing, with a retro, poster-like voice. Its chunky slabs and energetic slant feel sporty and friendly rather than formal, suggesting vintage advertising and bold editorial headings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a bold slab structure and an italicized, forward-leaning stance. Its softened corners and bracketed slabs aim to balance toughness with approachability, creating a display face that feels both retro and contemporary.
Capitals read compact and emphatic, while the lowercase keeps a robust, readable silhouette with rounded bowls and pronounced feet. The overall texture is dense and dark, producing strong emphasis at medium-to-large sizes and a distinctive, slightly “cut” detailing at joins.
