A heavy, oblique slab serif with broad proportions and compact inner counters. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with squared slab-like terminals and blunt, flat-ended joins that keep the silhouette blocky and stable. Many forms show small triangular cut-ins/notches at stress points, giving edges a chiseled, ink-trap-like character and adding texture to the otherwise solid shapes. Curves are generously rounded, spacing is bold and open at display sizes, and the overall rhythm is energetic with a slightly compressed interior feel.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where weight and slant can do the work—posters, sports and team branding, promotional graphics, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also function for punchy subheads or callouts when set with comfortable tracking to keep the dense shapes from feeling crowded.
The tone is loud, sporty, and retro-leaning, with an energetic slant that suggests motion and impact. Its chunky slabs and carved details read as confident and attention-seeking, balancing toughness with a playful, cartoonish bounce.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in display settings: a bold, slanted slab with squared terminals for strength, plus carved cut-ins that add personality and improve separation in tight, heavy forms. The goal appears to be a recognizable, high-energy voice that stays legible while looking dynamic.
The numerals and capitals carry strong billboard presence, while lowercase forms stay stout and sturdy with simple, readable construction. The distinctive notches and flat slabs create a recognizable signature that remains consistent across letters and figures.
