A compact, heavy slab-serif with a sturdy, block-first construction and softened curves. Strokes are thick and even, with broad, squared serifs that read as lightly bracketed and sometimes notched, giving corners a subtly engineered feel. Counters are relatively small and round, and the overall rhythm is dense and punchy, with a mix of straight-sided geometry and gentle rounding. The lowercase is robust and highly simplified, with single-story forms where expected and rounded bowls that keep the texture cohesive at large sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, mastheads, large headings, team or event branding, and bold labels on packaging. It also works well for signage and logo wordmarks where a strong, grounded presence is needed and the design can breathe with generous size and spacing.
The tone is bold and assertive with a classic, workmanlike attitude. It evokes vintage athletic lettering and traditional headline typography, balancing toughness with approachable, slightly playful shapes. The overall impression is dependable and high-impact rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif backbone, combining athletic/heritage cues with a contemporary, simplified drawing. Its sturdy proportions and squared serifs suggest a focus on legibility and authority in display applications.
The numerals follow the same chunky, slabbed logic and feel built for emphasis. In text, the weight and tight interior spaces create a dark, uniform color that favors display settings over long reading, while the sturdy serifs help anchor lines and improve word-shape recognition at larger sizes.
