A heavy, right-leaning slab-serif design with compact, squared-off slabs and noticeable bracketing that softens joins into the serifs. Strokes are strongly weighted with subtle contrast and a slightly springy rhythm created by the italic slant and tapered interior joins. Counters tend to be generous and rounded, while terminals on several lowercase forms show ball-like finishing, adding warmth to the otherwise blocky silhouette. Numerals are stout and display-like, with large curves and robust horizontals that keep color dense and consistent in text.
Best suited for headlines and short, emphatic text where impact is the priority—posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or team-themed graphics. It can also work for subheads and pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and leading to keep the heavy color from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, mixing vintage poster energy with a sporty, collegiate confidence. Its rounded details and ball terminals keep it approachable, while the dense weight and slanted stance make it feel assertive and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif foundation, combining sturdy signage-like construction with italic motion and friendlier, rounded finishing details for a distinctive, energetic voice.
Uppercase forms read steady and rectangular with sturdy slabs, while lowercase introduces more personality through rounded bowls and distinctive terminals, creating a lively mixed-case texture. At tight spacing the dark color can build quickly, so it naturally favors larger sizes where the internal shapes and bracketing are most legible.
