A heavy, slanted slab-serif with broad proportions and a compact, muscular build. Strokes are thick and mostly even, with squared slab terminals and subtly rounded corners that keep the forms from feeling harsh. Counters are relatively tight, joins are robust, and the overall rhythm is dense and energetic. The italics feel integrated into the design rather than mechanically skewed, with consistent weight through curves and strong, stable baselines.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, bold branding, and packaging. It can also work for short emphatic callouts or signage, especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing to offset the dense counters.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a vintage, poster-like confidence. Its forward slant adds motion and urgency, while the chunky slabs and rounded details give it a friendly, approachable toughness—more “team jersey” than “formal editorial.”
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact, slanted slab-serif voice—balancing rugged, block-like structure with enough rounding to stay approachable. It aims for high visibility and a strong, energetic personality in large sizes.
Uppercase shapes read as compact and sturdy, while lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, simplified constructions that reinforce the display character. Numerals are similarly weighty and built for impact, matching the letterforms’ blocky stance and tight internal space.
