A sturdy, oblique slab-serif with prominent rectangular serifs and visibly bracketed joins. Strokes are heavy and mostly even, with gentle modulation and crisp, slightly squared terminals that keep counters open at display sizes. The set has a forward-leaning stance and a broad footprint, with strong horizontal emphasis in E/F/T and substantial bowls in B/D/O. Lowercase forms are robust and straightforward, with a single-story a and g and a solid, workmanlike rhythm; figures are weighty and blocky, with a compact, sign-like presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of emphasis where the bold slabs and oblique angle can carry personality and impact. It should also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs a durable, high-contrast silhouette in a limited set of words, with enough clarity for subheads and callouts.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining a utilitarian slab-serif backbone with an athletic, headline-ready slant. It reads as confident and slightly retro, evoking editorial sports sections, bold packaging, and industrial branding without feeling delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, attention-grabbing slab-serif voice with forward momentum, pairing sturdy construction and consistent serifs with an italicized stance for punchy display typography.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the heavy weight from clogging, while the slant adds motion and helps large text feel dynamic. Serifs remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-friendly texture.
