A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and compact counters. The serifs are sturdy and squarish with a slightly bracketed feel, and many joins show small triangular notches that read like ink-traps or carved cut-ins. Curves are simplified and generously rounded (notably in O/C/G and the bowls), while terminals stay blunt and squared. Overall rhythm is punchy and dense, with tight interior space and a consistent, poster-oriented silhouette.
Best suited to large sizes where the thick slabs and distinctive notched joins can read clearly—posters, banners, sports or team branding, bold packaging fronts, and signage. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when a dense, high-impact texture is desired.
The letterforms project a bold, show-sign energy reminiscent of vintage display type used for fairs, sports, and headline-heavy advertising. The carved notches and stout slabs add a crafted, slightly rugged character that feels confident and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended as a maximum-impact display slab: wide, compact, and highly graphic, with signature cut-in details that create a recognizable texture across words. It prioritizes presence and personality for titles and branding over delicate detail.
The uppercase has a strong, uniform presence suited to impact headlines, while the lowercase mirrors the same chunky construction and deep bowls for consistency. Numerals follow the same stout geometry, maintaining a cohesive, signpainting-like texture in running text.
