A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with compact, blocky forms and strongly anchored feet and caps. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, and corners are slightly softened, giving the shapes a carved, poster-ready solidity. Serifs read as short, squared slabs with gentle bracketing, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with wide letterforms and a pronounced rightward momentum. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same sturdy, sculpted feel, with single-storey forms where applicable and bold, simplified joins.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, sports or team-themed identities, bold packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage. It also works well for short bursts of text—taglines, labels, or section headers—where impact and personality matter more than quiet readability.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a nostalgic, athletic flavor that feels at home in signage and bold headlines. Its slant and dense weight add speed and swagger, while the rounded finishing keeps it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an energetic, italicized slab-serif voice, balancing rugged, squared construction with softened edges for approachability. It aims for a vintage-meets-athletic look that stays highly legible at display sizes while projecting confidence and motion.
At display sizes the sturdy slabs and tight interior spaces create a strong silhouette and clear word shapes, especially in all-caps. In longer settings, the heavy weight and italic slant can build a dense texture, making it best when given generous leading and spacing.
