A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, with squared, slab-like terminals and subtly softened joins that keep the dense weight from feeling brittle. The letters show pronounced bracketing into the slabs and occasional notch-like cut-ins at tight corners, giving a slightly engineered, ink-aware finish. Round forms (like O and o) are strongly oval, while diagonals and arms are blunt and decisive, creating a steady, poster-friendly rhythm.
This font performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, and bold packaging statements. It can work for subheads or callouts where a dense, energetic texture is desired, especially at larger sizes where the internal shapes and bracketing remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a collegiate and vintage athletic flavor. Its forward slant and chunky slabs read as confident and action-oriented, suited to messaging that wants impact and momentum rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, contemporary take on an athletic slab serif: wide, emphatic forms with an italic drive, built to hold together under heavy weight and reproduce reliably in display applications.
In text settings the thick joins and narrow apertures create a dark texture, while the italic construction keeps lines moving. The numerals match the same sturdy, slabbed logic and feel built for emphasis rather than delicate differentiation.
