A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and squared-off, blocky forms. Strokes stay largely monoline, with thick, rectangular serifs and flat terminals that give the letters a sturdy, machined feel. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and curves are tightened into firm, squared transitions. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and lining figures.
Best suited to high-impact applications like sports identities, event posters, bold headlines, and packaging where an energetic, vintage-leaning slab serif is desired. It can also work for short bursts of editorial display text or signage where strong presence and rapid recognition matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The tone is bold and energetic, evoking classic sports typography and vintage advertising. Its strong slabs and pronounced slant convey momentum and confidence, reading as unapologetically assertive and attention-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight, slanted posture, and squared slab detailing, borrowing cues from athletic and mid-century display lettering. It prioritizes bold silhouette and consistent, blocky construction to stay legible and forceful at large sizes.
Uppercase shapes feel compact and muscular, with robust horizontals and firm shoulders; lowercase maintains a similar heft and simplified detailing. Numerals match the same chunky, squared construction, creating a cohesive, poster-ready voice across text and numbers.
