A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and strongly anchored feet. The strokes read mostly sturdy and even, with subtly tightened joints and small notches at some internal corners that help counters stay open. Serifs are bold and squared-off with slight bracketing, giving the forms a planted, athletic stance. Round letters are generously wide and compact, while diagonals and joins are shaped to keep weight consistent at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where bold, energetic typography is needed—posters, sports-related branding, impactful packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense texture suggests avoiding long-form body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone feels energetic and assertive, with a classic, sports-and-posters flavor. Its slanted posture and chunky slabs communicate motion, impact, and confidence rather than refinement or delicacy.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact, slanted slab-serif voice—combining the solidity of strong serifs with a sense of speed and display-driven readability.
The sample text shows strong word-shape rhythm and high presence, with tight, dark texture that suits short lines and emphasis. Counters remain readable despite the heavy weight, and the numerals carry the same sturdy, poster-like momentum.
