A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, block-like forms and square-cut terminals. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, producing a sturdy, low-modulation texture, while the slabs read as blunt, rectangular feet and caps rather than tapered or bracketed serifs. Counters are relatively tight and shapes are compact, with rounded bowls softened by flat edges and clipped corners in places. Numerals and letters share the same dense, poster-ready rhythm, keeping the silhouette bold and consistent across the set.
Well suited to sports identities, team merchandise, event posters, and bold editorial headlines where impact matters more than fine detail. It can also work for logotypes, labels, and packaging that benefit from a robust, energetic voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a distinctly sporty, vintage headline feel. Its weight and forward slant suggest motion and competitiveness, while the chunky slabs add a utilitarian, workmanlike confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a fast, italicized stance and rugged slab structure, balancing rounded letter bodies with flat, square endings for a strong, poster-centric presence.
The slant is pronounced enough to create strong directional emphasis, and the squared serifs help maintain stable baselines and strong word shapes in display settings. At smaller sizes the dense interiors may darken quickly, so it reads best when given room and contrast against the background.
