A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a dark, poster-like color on the page. Stems are thick and confident, while counters are relatively small, producing tight interior space and a compact rhythm. The serifs read as chunky slabs with softened, slightly bracketed joins, and many terminals feel cut or wedged, adding bite to the silhouettes. Overall forms mix sturdy geometry with rounded bowls, giving the alphabet a muscular but approachable profile.
Best suited to display settings where weight and personality are assets: headlines, posters, sports or team-themed branding, packaging callouts, and energetic event promotion. It can work for short subheads or emphatic pull quotes, but long passages may feel heavy unless set large with ample leading.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a retro, varsity-adjacent attitude that feels built for attention. Its combination of chunky slabs and rounded shapes creates a friendly toughness—confident and a little mischievous rather than formal. The italic slant adds motion, reinforcing a sense of speed and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a bold slab-serif voice while staying friendly through rounded forms and softened joins. The italic lean and sharp, cut-like terminals suggest a focus on motion and punch for attention-grabbing display typography.
In text, the strong weight and tight counters create a dense texture that works best when given generous size or spacing. Numerals appear robust and highly graphic, matching the letterforms’ emphasis on strong silhouettes and clear, punchy shapes.
