A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are dense and largely even in weight, with chunky, squared terminals and blocky slabs that read as built-in feet rather than delicate serifs. The curves are generously rounded, but the overall silhouette stays stout and geometric, creating a strong, poster-like rhythm. Spacing is moderately tight, and the numerals and capitals carry a cohesive, emphatic presence suited to short, high-impact lines.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, and sports-leaning branding where a strong, dynamic voice is desired. It also fits packaging and promotional materials that benefit from a bold, retro-leaning slab-serif look. For longer passages, it performs better in large sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is energetic and assertive, with a vintage athletic and advertising flavor. Its bold, slanted stance feels dynamic and promotional, while the rounded forms keep it approachable rather than severe. Overall it projects confidence and motion—ideal for messaging that needs to feel loud, upbeat, and immediate.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, forward-leaning posture and sturdy slab construction. The intention appears to be a high-visibility display face that combines athletic energy with a classic, print-ad sensibility, prioritizing strong silhouettes and confident rhythm over delicate detail.
In text settings the dense weight and closed apertures can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, but the strong outlines and sturdy serifs hold together well for display use. The oblique angle and chunky slabs create distinctive word shapes that work best when given room—headlines, short phrases, and large numerals.
