A heavy italic slab serif with broad, blocky letterforms and sturdy square-ended strokes. The design leans on thick, low-contrast construction with compact counters and softly rounded corners that keep the weight from feeling brittle. Serifs read as bold slabs with slight bracketing, and several joins show cut-in notches that create an ink-trap-like impression. The overall rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with wide curves and strong horizontal presence that stays legible at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where the heavy slabs and italic slant can do the work of attracting attention. It fits well for sports branding, event promotions, packaging callouts, and bold signage that needs an energetic, retro-leaning voice. In longer passages it will read most comfortably at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is confident and punchy, with a distinctly retro, athletic flavor. Its italic stance adds motion and urgency, while the chunky slabs and rounded shaping give it a friendly, poster-ready character rather than a formal one. Overall it feels loud, approachable, and built to grab attention quickly.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, dynamic slant and sturdy slab structure. The softened corners and cut-in joins suggest an intention to preserve clarity in heavy weight while adding a distinctive, crafted texture. Overall, it aims to balance rugged strength with approachable, playful display appeal.
Uppercase forms are compact and robust, and the numerals match the same heavy, slightly softened geometry. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy shapes and maintains a consistent slanted axis, reinforcing the display-oriented personality. Spacing in the samples supports tight, impactful setting where word shapes stay bold and cohesive.
