A heavy display serif with chunky, mostly uniform strokes and pronounced flared endings that read like compact wedge serifs. The shapes are broad and square-shouldered, with tight counters and a strong rectangular rhythm, while joins and inner corners often show small notches that create an ink-trap-like effect. Curves are controlled and slightly squared off, giving rounds a machined, geometric feel. Lowercase forms are large and sturdy, and the numerals follow the same bold, cut-in construction for a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to big, attention-driven typography such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and packaging where its carved corners and flared terminals remain visible. It can also work well for logo wordmarks and sports or event branding that benefits from a bold, vintage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is bold and confident with a retro, sign-paint and sports-lettering energy. Its sharp flares and carved details add a tough, industrial edge, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable and fun in headline settings.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through wide, blocky forms and distinctive flared terminals, echoing classic display serifs and lettering used in signage and athletic graphics. The small corner cut-ins suggest an intention to keep interior spaces from clogging and to add visual bite at bold weights.
The design relies on distinctive corner cut-ins and terminal flare to create character at large sizes, producing a dense, high-impact color on the line. In running text, the strong shapes and tight apertures can feel compact, but in short phrases they deliver a clear, branded silhouette.
