A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, weighty strokes and a compact, energetic rhythm. Serifs read as thick and block-like with subtle bracketing, giving the forms a carved, poster-ready solidity rather than a delicate book texture. Curves are full and rounded, counters stay open, and joins show occasional notch-like shaping that adds definition at display sizes. The italic construction leans consistently, with a slightly springy baseline feel and a mix of squarer cuts and softened terminals across the set.
Best suited to headlines, short passages, and large-size settings where the thick slabs and italic momentum can project personality. It fits sports and event branding, punchy editorial callouts, packaging, and signage where a bold, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone feels retro and punchy, recalling classic sports and advertising typography with a confident, hardworking presence. Its slanted stance adds motion and immediacy, while the heavy slabs keep it grounded and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, confident display voice by combining heavy slab structure with an italic slant, balancing strong rectangular cuts with softened curves for approachability and readability.
Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and stable, while lowercase has a lively, personable cadence; several letters show rounded terminals and compact apertures that enhance legibility in bold settings. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the strong headline character of the alphabet.
