A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad proportions and a compact, powerful silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely even, with squared-off slab serifs that feel integrated into the stems; corners read crisp, with subtle rounding in curves. The letterforms show a consistent forward slant and robust joins, producing a dense texture and strong horizontal rhythm in words. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and the figures match the same bold, sturdy construction.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, sports and team branding, event posters, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, labels, callouts) where a strong, compact texture is desirable, but it’s most effective when given room to project its weight and slanted momentum.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a sporty, varsity-adjacent attitude and a vintage poster sensibility. Its bold slant and chunky slabs give it a competitive, headline-driven feel that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than delicate or neutral.
The design appears intended to combine the solidity of slab serifs with an energetic oblique stance, creating a bold, high-impact voice for branding and display typography. Its squared terminals and sturdy proportions suggest a focus on legibility at large sizes and a confident, poster-like presence.
The oblique angle is prominent enough to shape word color and movement, helping lines feel fast and emphatic. The overall construction favors impact and personality over quiet text neutrality, especially at larger sizes where the slab details and strong diagonals are most apparent.
