A heavy, flared serif with broad, rounded forms and pronounced wedge-like terminals that swell at stroke ends. The letterforms favor generous curves and subtly pinched joins, creating an ink-trap-like bite in places (notably in counters and at some stroke intersections). Serifs are short and integrated rather than bracketed slabs, and the overall rhythm feels chunky and compact while staying open enough for display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a sturdy, poster-like weight, with consistent stroke presence and clear internal counters.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and bold brand marks where strong presence and a retro voice are desired. It can work effectively on packaging, signage, and sports- or club-inspired graphics, especially in short phrases and titling where its flared terminals and chunky rhythm can be appreciated.
The tone is bold and nostalgic, evoking classic athletic lettering and mid-century advertising. Its soft, swelling terminals and rounded bowls give it an approachable, upbeat character even at very heavy weight, balancing toughness with warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive flared-serif silhouette—combining sturdy, traditional cues with softened, display-oriented shaping for a lively, vintage-forward voice.
Several shapes show purposeful narrowing at joins and inside corners, which adds crispness to otherwise rounded silhouettes. The design reads best when given room—its dense weight and strong terminals can visually clump at small sizes or tight tracking, while larger settings highlight its sculpted stroke endings.
