A heavy, oblique slab-serif with sturdy, square-cut serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are compact and tightly modeled, with rounded inner counters and smooth joins that keep the texture dense and even. Serifs read as bold and supportive rather than delicate, and many terminals finish with crisp, flat ends. Numerals and capitals feel particularly weighty and planted, creating a strong typographic color in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short bursts of text where strong emphasis is needed. It can work well for sports and collegiate-style branding, packaging callouts, and editorial titles that benefit from a dense, confident texture. In longer passages it will read as forceful and attention-grabbing, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, headline-forward presence. Its slanted stance adds motion and urgency, while the chunky slabs and compact proportions give it a slightly retro, poster-like confidence. It conveys impact and clarity more than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a compact, slanted slab-serif structure, combining sturdy serifs with a smooth, rounded interior geometry for readable, high-energy display typography.
The rhythm in text is tight and cohesive, with wide, dark letterforms that hold together well at display sizes. Curves are generously rounded, balancing the squared-off slabs so the face feels robust rather than harsh.
