A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad, squared-off serifs and tightly controlled curves. The forms feel compact and block-driven, with rounded bowls that are trimmed by flat terminals and short, sturdy serifs. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins stay firm and blunt, giving letters a dense, high-impact silhouette. The lowercase shows sturdy, simplified structures (single-storey-style shapes where applicable) and a consistent forward lean that keeps the rhythm brisk in text lines.
This font is best suited to display settings where impact matters: sports or team branding, event posters, promotional headlines, and bold packaging. It also works for short blurbs, pull quotes, and signage where the strong slab cues and italic momentum help words stand out quickly.
The overall tone is bold and kinetic, pairing a sporty, poster-like confidence with a distinctly retro flavor. Its strong slabs and forward slant suggest motion and competitiveness, reading as direct and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a fast, forward-leaning stance, combining stout slab-serifs with compact, simplified letterforms for clear, high-energy display typography.
In the sample text, the weight and compact counters create a dark, continuous texture, especially in longer lines; spacing and italics together amplify the sense of speed. Numerals match the same squared, sturdy construction and hold up well at display sizes where the slab details remain clearly visible.
