A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad proportions and a sturdy, poster-like footprint. Strokes are thick and confident, with noticeable (but not extreme) contrast between main stems and the slab terminals; joins and corners feel slightly softened, helping the weight read smoother than a strictly geometric slab. The serifs are blocky and supportive rather than delicate, and the overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with compact internal counters that hold up well at display sizes. Lowercase forms lean toward single‑storey, rounded constructions, giving the set a more informal, energetic texture alongside the bold capitals and chunky figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and motion are desired. It also fits sports and outdoor identities, product packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from bold, slanted emphasis and robust slab terminals.
The tone is energetic and extroverted, combining vintage sign-painting and sports-lettering cues with a friendly, slightly bouncy slant. It feels bold and persuasive rather than formal, making text look animated and emphatic while staying readable.
Likely designed to deliver high-impact display typography that blends the solidity of slabs with an energetic oblique stance, balancing rugged authority with approachable, rounded shaping for attention-grabbing communication.
The oblique angle and wide set create strong horizontal momentum, and the slab terminals add a grounded, “stamped” authority. Numerals and caps appear built for impact, with a consistent weight distribution that supports short bursts of text and headline settings.
