A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with large, blocky serifs and rounded corners that soften the otherwise square construction. Strokes stay broadly even, creating a sturdy silhouette, while the italic slant and slightly sheared terminals introduce forward motion. Counters are generous and simplified, and many curves (C, G, S, 0) read as full, continuous bowls rather than finely detailed forms. The overall rhythm is compact and consistent, with strong horizontal feet and clear, emphatic joins.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact matters—posters, sports and collegiate-style branding, packaging callouts, and bold identity marks. It can also work for subheads and labels where a compact, assertive italic voice helps create hierarchy.
The tone feels energetic and confident, with a nostalgic, mid-century athletic flavor. Its bold presence and italic drive suggest motion and emphasis, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact slab serif look with built-in motion from the italic angle, balancing blunt, athletic structure with rounded details for friendliness and legibility at display sizes.
Uppercase forms show prominent slab feet and a sturdy, poster-like stance; lowercase stays similarly weighty, with single-story shapes where applicable and smooth, open apertures. Numerals are thick and highly graphic, designed to hold up at display sizes and remain legible under strong contrast between text and background.
