A heavy oblique slab serif with blocky, rectangular serifs and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are compact with a firm baseline, broad shoulders, and squared-off terminals that keep edges crisp even at larger sizes. Counters are moderately open and the curves are slightly squared, giving rounded letters a robust, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with consistent, confident stroke weight across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
This face performs best in display contexts—headlines, posters, pull quotes, and prominent labels—where the slant and heavy slabs can carry tone and hierarchy. It suits sports-leaning branding, event graphics, and packaging that needs an impactful, vintage-leaning voice, and it can also work for short editorial decks when you want strong emphasis without high-contrast delicacy.
The tone feels sporty and assertive, with a classic, print-like swagger that reads as vintage without becoming ornamental. Its strong slabs and forward slant suggest motion and emphasis, making it feel punchy, promotional, and slightly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact emphasis with a forward-leaning, athletic energy, using bold slab serifs to maintain clarity and authority. It prioritizes a compact, sturdy texture that stays cohesive across letters and numbers for assertive display typography.
Capitals present a solid, billboard-ready silhouette, while the lowercase keeps legibility through clear joins and stable proportions. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the weight and presence of the letters for cohesive headings and callouts.
