A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, square-shouldered construction and thick, blocky serifs. Strokes stay largely even, with firm verticals and broad horizontal feet that create strong baseline anchoring. Counters are relatively compact and the joins can feel slightly pinched, giving a subtle ink-trap-like impression at some interior corners. The overall rhythm is punchy and dense, with wide capitals and robust numerals that read as solid, poster-ready shapes.
Best suited to display roles where weight and presence are desired: headlines, posters, sports and collegiate-style branding, and bold packaging or labels. It can also work for short editorial callouts, pull quotes, and subheads where a strong typographic voice is needed more than delicate detail.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking vintage print, sports lettering, and bold editorial headlines. Its slanted stance adds momentum and urgency, while the slab serifs keep the voice grounded and dependable. The result feels energetic, no-nonsense, and slightly nostalgic.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif backbone, combining a forward-leaning, energetic stance with durable, print-friendly letterforms. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and power in large sizes while retaining enough structure for brief text settings.
Uppercase forms present as especially broad and stable, while the lowercase keeps a practical, readable structure at text sizes despite the weight. The numerals match the overall mass and squareness, maintaining a consistent, sturdy color across mixed settings.
