A heavy, obliqued slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, rectangular serifs. Strokes are largely uniform in weight with minimal modulation, creating a solid, poster-like color on the page. Serifs read as blocky and slightly bracketed, with many terminals cut on a forward slant that reinforces the italic movement. Counters are relatively tight and joins are robust, giving the forms a durable, impact-oriented texture in both uppercase and lowercase, while figures match the same dense, athletic construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, sports and event branding, poster titling, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for logos and merchandise where a dynamic, retro slab serif voice is desired; for extended reading, the dense weight and compact counters may feel visually heavy at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a vintage, team-lettering feel. The forward lean and chunky slabs suggest motion and competitiveness, while the consistent weight keeps the voice straightforward and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, fast-moving slab serif look that evokes classic athletic and display typography. Its emphasis on solid construction, oblique momentum, and blocky serifs suggests a focus on attention-grabbing branding and titling rather than delicate editorial texture.
The oblique angle is strong enough to be a defining feature, and the rhythm across words is driven by repeating wedge-like terminals and squared-off serifs. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation from the uppercase while keeping the same compact, muscular presence, and the numerals appear designed to hold up at headline sizes with bold, simple silhouettes.
