A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, tightly packed interior. Strokes show clear weight hierarchy: thick main stems with slimmer connections and diagonals, plus sturdy slabs that often read as squared and slightly wedge-cut at the ends. The serif joins appear subtly bracketed, and several terminals have crisp, angled cuts that give the letterforms a machined feel. Round letters (like O/C) are robust and slightly squarish in spirit, with relatively small counters that intensify the overall darkness and impact.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, impactful headlines, sports or team-style branding, and logo wordmarks where a strong, condensed-dark texture is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of copy on packaging or promotional materials when set with generous size and spacing.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. The italic slant and chunky slabs push it toward a dynamic, attention-grabbing voice that feels at home in retro athletic branding and assertive editorial titling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a slanted, muscular slab-serif structure—combining classic slab sturdiness with a faster, more aggressive italic posture for branding and titling that needs immediate presence.
In text settings the heavy color creates strong rhythm but quickly builds density, making it most comfortable at larger sizes where its angled terminals and slab shapes can be read cleanly. Numerals match the same sturdy, forward-leaning construction, keeping a consistent, emphatic texture across mixed content.
