A heavy, forward-leaning slab-serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and softly bracketed serifs that read as sturdy blocks rather than fine terminals. Strokes show a gentle, noticeable contrast and a subtly “carved” feel in joins and corners, producing small notches and tapered transitions that keep the dense weight from looking flat. The lowercase has a rounded, chunky construction with ball-like terminals on some forms and a lively, uneven rhythm; widths vary by glyph, adding a hand-set, display-oriented texture. Numerals are bold and full, with simplified shapes and strong silhouettes that match the letters’ mass and slanted stance.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, packaging fronts, and logo/lockup work where a bold, energetic voice is needed. It can also work for short callouts or signage when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve readability.
The overall tone is energetic and punchy, with a vintage, poster-like confidence. Its tilt and chunky slabs give it a sporty, headline-forward attitude, while the rounded details and bouncy spacing add a friendly, slightly playful edge.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact, slanted slab-serif voice that feels both sturdy and animated, combining robust serifs with rounded, friendly shapes for attention-heavy display typography.
At text sizes the dense weight and tight internal spaces can close up, but at larger sizes the distinctive slabs, notched joins, and broad forms become a defining graphic feature. The strong slant creates momentum, making lines feel dynamic and attention-grabbing.
