A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with a tightly packed, muscular build and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes are broad and mostly even, with subtle modulation and distinctly squared terminals that create a crisp, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase is compact with a tall presence, while counters stay relatively narrow, emphasizing dense texture and strong word-shapes. Overall rhythm is energetic and forceful, with slightly condensed internal spaces and sturdy joins that keep the face stable at large sizes.
Best suited to applications that benefit from strong impact and quick recognition, such as sports identities, event posters, bold editorial headlines, and product packaging. It can also work well on merchandise and signage where a compact, high-energy slab serif is needed.
The font communicates an athletic, headline-driven attitude—bold, assertive, and built for impact. Its slanted posture and chunky slabs give it a vintage sports and Americana feel, suggesting speed, strength, and competitive energy rather than refinement.
The design appears intended as a display slab that combines the toughness of bold serifs with an oblique, action-oriented stance, aiming to deliver high visual punch and a classic, sporty voice in short to medium text settings.
The glyphs show consistent slab treatment across caps and lowercase, with pronounced foot and head serifs that create strong horizontal cues. Numerals match the same blocky, robust tone, and the oblique angle remains steady, helping lines of text feel dynamic and forward-moving.
