A heavy, oblique slab-serif with compact, blocky construction and subtly rounded corners. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin shaping, with sturdy rectangular slabs and frequent triangular notches/counters that read like built-in cut-ins or ink-trap details. The forms are generally wide with a strong horizontal emphasis, and the spacing feels deliberately tight, creating a dense, poster-like texture in text. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky mass and slanted stance, keeping rhythm consistent across the set.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold editorial callouts. Its athletic, high-impact presence also fits sports branding, badges, and packaging where a strong, punchy wordmark is needed. Use at larger sizes to let the notched details and slab terminals read clearly.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, leaning into a retro athletic and headline-driven feel. The sharp cut-ins add a slightly mischievous, energetic edge, while the slabs keep it grounded and authoritative. It reads as attention-seeking and fun rather than restrained or formal.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a slanted, muscular slab-serif structure, pairing sturdy terminals with distinctive cut-in details for memorability. It prioritizes bold silhouette and energetic rhythm, likely intended for branding and attention-grabbing display settings.
The oblique angle is pronounced enough to feel dynamic, and the internal notches give many letters a distinctive “carved” silhouette that stands out at display sizes. In longer settings the dense color and strong slant create momentum, but the weight and tight texture suggest it will be most effective when given room to breathe.
