A hefty italic slab serif with broad proportions and strongly sculpted, bracketed slabs. Strokes are dense and confident, with subtle contrast and rounded corners that soften the otherwise blocky construction. The forms lean consistently forward, and many letters show slightly irregular, wedge-like terminals that create a lively, hand-inked rhythm. Counters are compact and sturdy, and the numerals share the same squat, high-impact build with clear, simple silhouettes.
Best suited to display applications where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, bold packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for short subheads or punchy statements, but the dense color and strong slant make it less ideal for long reading at small sizes.
The tone reads bold and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like presence that feels rooted in vintage advertising and team branding. Its forward slant and chunky slabs project momentum and confidence, while the softened edges keep it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a retro-leaning italic slab voice—combining sturdy, bracketed slabs with a dynamic forward motion. It aims for quick legibility and strong personality in branding and promotional typography.
Spacing looks generous for such heavy shapes, helping prevent the letters from clumping in short words. The italic angle is pronounced enough to be expressive, and the overall texture on a line is dark and uniform, producing strong blocks of text at display sizes.
