A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a lively, bouncy rhythm. Strokes are thick with rounded joins and subtly sculpted terminals, giving the letterforms a soft, carved feel rather than a rigid geometric build. The serifs read as sturdy slabs that are often bracketed into the stems, and many curves show small notches and wedge-like cut-ins that add texture and help separate counters at display sizes. Spacing appears generous and the overall silhouette is robust, with compact counters in letters like a, e, and s and prominent bowls in b, p, and 8.
Best suited to display contexts where bold, energetic typography is needed—headlines, posters, brand marks, team or event graphics, and packaging. The dense color and textured detailing suggest it will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the internal shaping and serif structure can be appreciated.
The font projects a confident, high-impact tone with a distinctly retro, poster-like attitude. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs evoke sports branding and vintage advertising, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable and slightly playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a nostalgic, athletic-leaning flavor, combining sturdy slab serifs with rounded, sculpted forms for a friendly but commanding presence.
Uppercase forms feel strong and blocky with clear slab presence, while lowercase introduces more character through rounded shoulders, deep joins, and bulbous bowls. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to hold up as attention-getting figures in headlines and badges.
