A heavy, right-leaning slab-serif with tightly packed counters and a compact internal rhythm. Stems are thick and sturdy, with bracketed slab terminals that read as chiseled and slightly sculpted rather than purely geometric. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the bowls in b/d/p/q) are broad and firm, while joins and corners show small notches and tight apertures that create an ink-trap-like texture at display sizes. The lowercase is relatively compact with sturdy ascenders and a simple single-storey a; numerals are weighty and rounded, with strong horizontal slabs that anchor the forms.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team identities, bold packaging, and strong signage. It can work in subheads or pull quotes where a dense, emphatic texture is desired, but the compact counters and heavy weight suggest keeping body text sizes generous.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a vintage, athletic flavor that feels assertive and attention-grabbing. Its slanted stance and thick slabs give it a dynamic, poster-ready presence while retaining a workmanlike, no-nonsense solidity.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a stable slab-serif foundation, combining a dynamic italic slant with sturdy, bracketed terminals for a distinctly punchy display voice.
The design maintains a consistent, dense color across words, with pronounced terminals and reduced apertures that can darken in longer lines. The italic angle is clear and uniform, and the slab endings remain prominent even on diagonals (V, W, X, Y), reinforcing a muscular, engineered feel.
