A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, bracketed serifs. Strokes show noticeable contrast for a display face, with thick stems and slightly tapered joins that keep counters open at large sizes. Terminals are generally blunt and squared-off, while curves (notably in O/C/G and the numerals) are smooth and generously rounded. The lowercase has a single-storey a and g, a short, stout t, and a round, prominent i/j dot, contributing to a compact, cohesive texture in words.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where impact matters—posters, bold editorial titles, branding marks, packaging, and promotional graphics. It can also work for sports-leaning identities and statement typography where a strong, slanted slab voice is desired.
The overall tone feels bold and energetic, with a classic, poster-like presence. Its italic angle and chunky slabs give it a sporty, headline-driven character that reads as retro and confident rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a friendly, readable structure—combining hefty slabs and an italic stance to create motion and authority without sacrificing clarity in tight, bold settings.
Spacing appears tuned for display: letterforms are wide and weighty, creating strong horizontal rhythm, while the serifs and angled stress add a lively, slightly kinetic feel. Numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the same blunt, slabbed finishing as the caps.
