A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are robust with subtle modulation, and the slab-like serifs read as thick, softly bracketed terminals that create a strong horizontal emphasis. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, O, S and the lowercase bowls), while joins and notches introduce a slightly cut-in, ink-trap-like character in places. Overall spacing and rhythm favor impact over delicacy, producing sturdy word shapes that hold together well at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as sports identities, event posters, bold editorial headlines, packaging, and attention-forward signage. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where a strong, energetic voice is desired, but it may feel heavy for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is energetic and confident, with a vintage, scoreboard-and-signage flavor. Its bold, slanted stance feels active and competitive, while the rounded slabs keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with an active slant and slab-serif solidity, balancing muscular forms with rounded detailing for a friendly, retro-leaning display voice.
Capitals have a sturdy, poster-like build with broad shoulders and pronounced slabs, while lowercase forms remain equally weighty and open, giving mixed-case settings a strong, unified color. Numerals are similarly solid and legible, with ample width and clear silhouettes suited to attention-grabbing use.
