A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, powerful silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with chunky slab terminals that read as slightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of a, b, p, q), while joins stay sturdy and simplified for impact. The italic construction is more of a built-in slant than a calligraphic cursive, keeping the overall texture dense and poster-ready across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large-size typography where its weight, slanted stance, and slab terminals can deliver impact—such as headlines, posters, sports or collegiate-style branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for short subheads and logo wordmarks where a strong, energetic voice is needed.
The face feels sporty and energetic, with a retro display attitude that suggests motion and confidence. Its bold slant and blocky slabs give it an assertive, attention-grabbing tone, while the rounded forms keep it approachable rather than severe.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visibility and momentum through a heavy italic stance and robust slab serifs, combining poster-grade punch with a friendly, rounded construction. The overall goal seems to be a confident display face that reads quickly and holds together in dense settings.
Uppercase shapes are wide and stable, and the lowercase maintains a clear, readable rhythm with sturdy stems and small-to-moderate apertures. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, reading as strong, slightly condensed shapes with simple, emphatic curves.
