A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with chunky, bracketed terminals and a sturdy, sign-like build. Strokes show clear but not delicate contrast, with broad main stems and thick slabs that read as solid blocks at text sizes. The letterforms are wide-set with ample internal counters, while curves (C, O, G, and lowercase bowls) stay full and rounded. Several joins and inside corners show small scooped notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen rhythm and help keep counters open in bold settings.
Best suited to headlines, short blocks of display text, and brand marks that need a forceful, attention-grabbing presence. It can work well on packaging and labels where sturdy serifs and open counters help maintain clarity, and it especially fits sports, outdoor, and retro-inspired design systems.
The tone is confident and punchy, with a vintage, athletic energy that feels geared toward impact rather than refinement. Its strong slabbing and italic motion convey speed and urgency, giving headlines a bold, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a slanted, energetic stance while preserving readability through generous counters and robust slab serifs. The notched inner corners and softened curves suggest an emphasis on practical reproduction and consistent texture in bold display settings.
Numerals are substantial and highly legible, matching the overall mass and softened curvature of the alphabet. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the thick slabs keep word shapes cohesive even in dense lines.
