A heavy, block-driven slab serif with broad proportions and compact counters. The serifs read as bold, squared slabs with slight bracketing, and many terminals are softened into rounded corners rather than sharp cuts. Curves are generous and full (notably in C, G, O, S), while straight-sided forms like E, F, H, N, and T keep a sturdy, poster-like rhythm. Lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a broad, open e, and generally short extenders, giving the text a dense, even color at display sizes.
This design is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports or event posters, retail signage, packaging titles, and brand marks where the strong slabs and broad forms can read clearly. It also works well for pull quotes and large-format editorial display where a warm, retro emphasis is desired.
The tone is confident and extroverted, with a classic American poster/athletic flavor. Its chunky slabs and rounded shaping feel approachable and nostalgic, evoking team lettering, storefront signage, and bold headline typography.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, nostalgic character, combining sturdy slab serifs with rounded curves for a strong but inviting display voice.
Spacing and internal shapes are intentionally tight, which amplifies impact but can make small-size text feel heavy. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, keeping a consistent, unified voice across letters and figures.
