A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and tightly packed counters that create a dense, poster-ready color. Serifs are blocky and mostly bracketed, with small notches and angled joins that add a slightly chiseled, cut-in feel. Curves are full and rounded, while terminals and intersections show crisp, purposeful shaping that keeps the forms energetic rather than purely geometric.
This font is best suited to short display settings where its weight, slabbing, and slant can carry personality—headlines, posters, signage, and identity work. It also works well for sports-themed branding, labels, and bold callouts where quick recognition matters more than long-form readability.
The overall tone feels bold and confident with a vintage, athletic flavor—like classic team branding or mid-century advertising. Its italic slant adds motion and urgency, giving headlines a sense of forward drive and competitiveness while remaining approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a lively, vintage-leaning slab serif voice, combining sturdy serifs with a fast italic stance for energetic display typography.
The rhythm is strongly horizontal, with sturdy slabs and wide letter bodies creating an even, impactful texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same chunky, dynamic construction, maintaining consistency for scoreboards, pricing, or display settings.
