A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with chunky, squared-off terminals and broad, simplified shapes. The strokes are thick and fairly even, with short, blunt serifs that read as sturdy blocks rather than delicate finishing details. Curves are tightened and slightly squarish, producing a compact rhythm, while counters stay open enough for strong display legibility. The overall texture is dense and energetic, with a consistent rightward slant and a deliberately robust, poster-oriented build.
This font is best suited to display settings where mass and momentum are an advantage: posters, event graphics, sports branding, punchy packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for short, bold editorial callouts, but its dense color makes it less ideal for extended reading at small sizes.
The tone feels loud and self-assured, with a retro, athletic flavor that suggests headlines, promotions, and punchy statements. Its italic slant and blocky slabs add motion and impact, giving it a spirited, slightly playful edge rather than a formal one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through stout slab serifs, compact proportions, and a dynamic slant—prioritizing presence, immediacy, and a distinctly retro display character.
Uppercase forms skew toward assertive, geometric silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, workmanlike feel with pronounced weight and simplified joins. Numerals match the same heavy, slanted construction and read best at larger sizes where the compact details have room to breathe.
