A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad, squared-off terminals and compact, blocky forms. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with crisp edges and tight interior counters that keep the silhouette dense. Serifs read as strong, rectangular brackets, and many joins show small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen the rhythm and help differentiate letters at display sizes. The overall geometry favors angled cuts and sturdy horizontals, producing a consistent, punchy texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for high-impact display typography such as headlines, posters, sports or team branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for short calls-to-action, labels, and signage where a sturdy, energetic italic voice is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, combining a sporty, headline-driven attitude with a slightly retro, workhorse toughness. Its bold, slanted posture and chunky slabs convey urgency and confidence, making the text feel loud, direct, and built for impact.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, slanted slab-serif voice that reads quickly and feels muscular and modern-classic. Its squared terminals and sturdy construction prioritize punch and presence, while the cut-in details add definition and keep shapes from feeling overly blunt.
Capitals are wide and stable, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, compact footprint with simple, utilitarian details. Numerals follow the same squared, weighty construction, giving sets like prices or scores a strong, poster-like presence. The dense color and tight counters suggest it will look best with generous tracking and adequate line spacing when used in longer lines.
