A very heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, muscular silhouette. Strokes stay largely even, with thick bracketed slabs and softened corners that give the forms a slightly rounded, carved feel. Curves are generous and closed counters remain readable at large sizes; joins and terminals show subtle notches and angled cuts that add texture without breaking the overall solidity. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, blocky rhythm, while lowercase has sturdy bowls and short, weighty extenders that keep the line dense and energetic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, bold editorial headings, and packaging where mass and momentum are assets. It can work for brief callouts or slogans in mixed case, but its dense weight and strong slabbing suggest using it primarily at larger sizes rather than long-form reading.
The tone is bold and extroverted, with a sporty, poster-ready character that feels nostalgic and attention-seeking. Its heavy slabs and forward slant create a sense of motion and impact, lending a confident, all-caps display attitude even in mixed-case text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded slab structure and a dynamic forward slant, balancing rugged display presence with enough internal shaping to keep counters open. The consistent heaviness and chunky serifs point to a typeface built for branding and headline hierarchy where immediacy and confidence are key.
Diagonal strokes and interior joins show small angular scoops/notches that help separate dense shapes and contribute to a slightly vintage, sign-painting or woodtype-adjacent texture. The spacing appears tuned for display, producing a tight, cohesive word shape in the sample paragraph.
