A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with chunky proportions and rounded corners that keep the dense letterforms from feeling rigid. Many glyphs feature distinctive interior notches and cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or ink-trap bites, creating a consistent, high-impact texture across the alphabet. Terminals are broad and squared with slab-like feet, while bowls and counters stay compact, giving the type a tight, poster-ready rhythm. The lowercase includes several lively, slightly swashy forms (notably in letters like a, g, y), adding movement without losing the font’s blocky backbone.
Best suited to display work where its weight and distinctive notches can read clearly—posters, event graphics, punchy editorial headings, and brand marks. It also fits packaging and labels that benefit from a bold, retro-leaning voice, as well as sporty or team-inspired identities.
The overall tone is energetic and nostalgic, mixing classic display robustness with a mischievous, almost cartoonish bounce. The repeated cut-ins add a sporty, badge-like flavor that feels engineered for attention rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a recognizable signature, blending slab-serif strength with playful, engineered cut-ins to create a memorable headline texture. Its slanted stance and compact counters suggest a focus on dynamic display typography rather than continuous reading.
The strong slant and heavy joins can cause counters to close up in longer text, especially at smaller sizes, but the distinctive cut-ins help preserve character separation at display scales. Numerals follow the same chunky, slanted construction and maintain the font’s graphic consistency for headlines and short bursts of information.
