A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with brisk, sculpted forms and emphatic, blocky serifs. Strokes show clear shaping through subtle thick–thin modulation and tapered joins, with wedge-like terminals that create a slightly “carved” silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and rounded, and curves are drawn with a firm, athletic tension that keeps letters compact while still readable at display sizes. The overall rhythm is energetic, with small irregularities in stroke taper and serif bracketing that add texture and movement.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and branding where impact and motion are desired. The heavy weight and pronounced serifs also work well for packaging, team or event graphics, and short editorial callouts where a retro-leaning, high-energy voice is appropriate.
The tone is bold and assertive with a vintage, poster-like flavor. Its strong slabbing and slanted stance give it momentum and a competitive, headline-forward attitude, reading as both rugged and polished rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and immediacy through bold slabs, italic momentum, and tightly controlled counters. It aims for a classic display feel—evoking vintage print and athletic signage—while staying clean enough for contemporary branding and campaign use.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and upright in structure despite the slant, while lowercase maintains a robust, workhorse look with pronounced entry/exit strokes and distinctive terminals. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, keeping the set cohesive for big, attention-grabbing typography.
