A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, compact forms and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick and mostly even, with only modest modulation, while corners and joins are softened to keep the silhouette rounded rather than sharp. The serifs read as blocky wedges on many letters, and several glyphs show slight notches and ink-trap-like cut-ins where strokes meet, adding texture at display sizes. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with a lively, slightly irregular bounce from the italic slant and varied internal shaping.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its heavy slabs and italic energy can work as a graphic element—posters, packaging, storefront-style messaging, sports branding, and merchandise. It can also serve for emphatic pull quotes or section headers, but its dense texture suggests avoiding long-form body copy at smaller sizes.
The tone is bold and extroverted, mixing a vintage poster feel with an energetic, sporty attitude. Its chunky slabs and forward-leaning stance create a sense of momentum, while the rounded detailing keeps it friendly and approachable rather than severe.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a forward-driving italic stance and chunky slab serifs, echoing classic advertising and athletic display typography. The softened corners and small cut-ins at joins appear intended to keep the forms open and punchy when set large and bold.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and sign-like, while lowercase shapes stay compact and weighty, maintaining strong color across lines of text. Numerals follow the same thick, rounded, slabbed logic and read as assertive, making the set feel cohesive for loud, high-contrast applications.
