A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, forceful rhythm. Strokes show clear contrast: thick verticals and bowls paired with narrower joins and diagonals, while the serifs read as chunky slabs with subtle bracketing rather than razor-sharp joins. Many terminals are cut on an angle, and several joins hint at ink-trap-like notches that keep interior spaces from clogging at bold sizes. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are somewhat closed, producing a dense, blocky color that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Best suited to display applications where impact matters: headlines, poster typography, sports or event branding, and packaging that needs a bold, energetic voice. It can also work for short editorial callouts and pull quotes, but the dense interior spaces make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and extroverted, with a slightly vintage, poster-like attitude. Its slanted stance and hefty slabs suggest speed and emphasis, giving it a sporty, headline-forward feel that reads as confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a dynamic slant and robust slab serifs, balancing retro sign/promo cues with practical shaping that preserves clarity in very heavy strokes.
The numerals match the letters in weight and stance, with sturdy, compact forms suited to attention-grabbing settings. The silhouette is strongly geometric and stable, but the angled cuts and notched joins add motion and keep the texture from feeling overly static.
