A very heavy, right-leaning slab serif with pronounced contrast created by sharp internal cut-ins and notched joins. The letterforms are compact and rounded in their bowls, but repeatedly interrupted by flat slab terminals, deep wedges, and “scooped” counters that create a stenciled, segmented feel without breaking continuity. Curves are bold and smooth, while many horizontals and cross-strokes appear as carved bands, producing a strong rhythm of black mass versus crisp negative shapes. Descenders and some terminals end in rounded, ball-like forms, adding a decorative bounce to the otherwise blocky construction.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, logos, poster titles, apparel marks, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for large-format subheads where the carved details have room to breathe, but it will be most effective when used as a statement display face rather than for long reading.
The overall tone is energetic and attention-grabbing, with a sporty, mid-century display flavor. Its slanted posture and dramatic cut details suggest motion and impact, while the playful terminals and exaggerated shapes keep it from feeling purely industrial. The result is bold, expressive, and slightly mischievous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense weight, an italic forward drive, and distinctive notched detailing that creates a memorable silhouette. It aims to combine slab-like sturdiness with decorative cut-ins to produce a unique, brandable display voice.
At text sizes the frequent internal cutouts become a defining texture, so spacing and line breaks will noticeably affect the pattern of white shapes across a word. Numerals follow the same carved, high-impact logic, reading as chunky, stylized figures with strong personality rather than neutral tabular forms.
