A heavy, right-leaning slab-serif with compact counters and strongly bracketed slabs that read as sturdy wedges at the ends of strokes. Stems are thick and rounded, with noticeable (but not delicate) contrast between bowls and joins, and tight internal spaces that create a dense, poster-ready color on the line. The design shows purposeful notch-like cut-ins at several joins and terminals, helping separate shapes at display sizes and adding a slightly engineered, athletic rhythm. Overall widths are generous, while proportions stay controlled and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display contexts where strong personality and quick recognition matter—posters, headlines, team or event branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short subheads and callouts when you want an energetic, vintage-leaning voice.
The tone is bold and extroverted, with a distinctly vintage, sign-and-sports sensibility. Its slanted, muscular forms feel energetic and competitive, projecting confidence and motion rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a confident italic slant and robust slab serifs, combining a retro athletic flavor with practical clarity at larger sizes. The cut-in details and heavy terminals seem aimed at maintaining letter separation while keeping an overall dense, commanding presence.
The numerals follow the same chunky, slanted build, with rounded forms and stout slabs that keep figures visually even in a run of text. In the sample paragraph the texture is dense and emphatic, suggesting it’s optimized for impact over long-form comfort.
