A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with sturdy, blocklike stems and low-contrast construction. The serifs read as bold, squared slabs with subtle bracketing, giving edges a controlled, machined feel rather than a sharp, hairline finish. Counters are generous and mostly rounded, helping the dense weight stay open in letters like O, e, and a, while the overall rhythm stays energetic due to the consistent italic angle and slightly condensed joins in forms like n, m, and u. Numerals are weighty and stable, with broad curves and flat-feeling terminals that match the serif language.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, sports and team-style branding, and packaging where impact and momentum are desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts, pull quotes, and cover lines where a strong italic voice is needed without resorting to high-contrast details.
The tone is punchy and confident, with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its slanted stance and hefty slabs suggest speed and impact while still feeling structured and workmanlike, lending a mildly retro, print-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a slanted slab-serif voice: strong, readable shapes, emphatic terminals, and a cohesive display rhythm that holds up in large sizes and attention-grabbing contexts.
In text settings, the heavy weight and italic slant create a strong diagonal texture; spacing appears tuned for display rather than long-form reading. The single-storey a and g reinforce a straightforward, contemporary utility, while rounded bowls paired with squared serifs create a distinct hard/soft tension.
