This typeface is a heavy, right-leaning slab serif with thick, blocky serifs and broadly rounded bowls. Strokes are largely even, with chunky terminals and slab feet that read as squared-off but slightly softened by subtle curvature and bracketing. The letterforms are compact and energetic, with sturdy horizontals, firm vertical stress, and a rhythm that alternates between tight counters and bold exterior silhouettes. Numerals match the weight and stance, featuring broad forms and strong slab-like endings that keep figures prominent at display sizes.
Best suited to short, emphatic text such as headlines, posters, sports and club identities, packaging callouts, and storefront or event signage. It holds up well in large-scale applications where the bold slabs and italic thrust can deliver clear hierarchy and a strong graphic footprint.
The overall tone feels vintage and punchy, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its bold slabbiness and italic momentum create an impression of speed and emphasis, while the softened edges keep it friendly rather than severe. It suggests classic advertising, team branding, and headline-driven design where impact matters.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a slab serif with the forward motion of an italic, delivering high-impact display typography that stays sturdy and readable. Its forms prioritize bold presence and rhythmic texture over refinement, aiming for attention-grabbing, vintage-leaning communication.
The italic is built into the shapes rather than relying on delicate modulation, so the slanted stance remains robust and highly legible. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S keep ample mass, giving text a dense, energetic texture, especially in all-caps settings.
