A heavy slab-serif with an oblique posture and sturdy, compact letterforms. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with squared slab feet and subtle bracketing where stems meet serifs, giving a carved, robust feel. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be controlled, producing a dense texture in text. Rounds (C, O, G) are broad and smooth, while diagonals (A, V, W, Y) keep a blunt, blocky finish that reinforces the solid rhythm. The numerals match the letters’ weight and footprint, reading strong and headline-oriented.
Best suited to display roles where impact is desired: headlines, poster typography, and bold marketing copy. It can work well for sports and collegiate-style branding, packaging titles, and logotypes that benefit from a strong silhouette and an energetic slant.
The tone is assertive and energetic, blending a nostalgic, print-era heft with a lively slant. It feels punchy and promotional—more "headline muscle" than quiet reading—while still retaining an approachable, slightly playful warmth from its rounded bowls and generous slabs.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence and momentum: a sturdy slab foundation paired with an italic stance for speed and emphasis. Its forms prioritize recognizability and punch at larger sizes, maintaining a cohesive, blocky texture across letters and numerals.
In running text the dark color and tight internal spaces create a high-ink presence, so spacing and line length matter for clarity. The italic angle is pronounced enough to add momentum, and the consistent slab treatment keeps the overall texture stable across mixed-case settings.
