A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. The serifs read as chunky and softly bracketed, with a consistent, slightly sculpted treatment at joins that suggests subtle ink-trap-like notches in places. Stroke endings are blunt and confident, while curves are full and somewhat flattened, producing a sturdy, poster-ready rhythm. Numerals and caps carry substantial weight and presence, and the lowercase maintains a steady, legible structure without feeling delicate.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and display settings where strong texture and momentum are desirable. It works well for sports-themed branding, punchy editorial covers, packaging, and logo wordmarks that need a confident, vintage-informed presence.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a retro-leaning, collegiate/editorial flavor. Its slanted stance and thick slabs make it feel active and emphatic, while the rounded shaping keeps it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through thick slabs, broad letterforms, and a forward-leaning posture, creating a lively display voice that remains readable in bold, high-contrast layouts.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep dense weights from clogging, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The design favors impact over fine detail, with strong silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes and in short lines.
