A heavy, right-slanted slab-serif with pronounced stroke contrast and large, blocky serifs that read as firmly bracketed and slightly chiseled. Forms are broad and open, with generous counters and a compact, muscular rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Terminals often angle or taper, creating a dynamic wedge-like effect, while joins and inner corners show tight shaping that can feel almost like subtle ink-trap notches at display sizes. Numerals follow the same weighty, forward-leaning structure for a consistent headline texture.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, deck lines, pull quotes, posters, and branding where a strong, traditional-meets-athletic impression is desirable. It can also work for packaging and title treatments that need a bold, vintage-forward look with crisp contrast.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, combining a classic newspaper/sports-display presence with a distinctly retro, poster-like punch. The slant and contrast add motion and drama, giving text a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif foundation, using pronounced contrast and a forward slant to add speed and emphasis. Its wide, open shapes and sculpted serifs suggest a focus on legibility at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, branded texture.
In paragraphs the strong slant and heavy slabs create a dense, high-impact texture with clear word shapes, especially in mixed case. The design’s contrast and angular details reward larger settings, where the sculpted serifs and tapered strokes read as intentional styling rather than pure weight.
