A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are robust and largely uniform, with distinct slab terminals that read slightly bracketed and occasionally notched, giving corners a carved, cut-in feel. Curves are full and rounded (notably in O, C, and numerals), while joins and interior corners show small apertures and tight shaping that adds texture at display sizes. The overall rhythm is bouncy and energetic, with sturdy verticals and wide bowls creating strong, poster-like silhouettes.
Best suited to display applications where impact and personality are primary: headlines, posters, sports branding, packaging, and bold logotypes. It can also work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense shapes and tight counters favor larger sizes and generous spacing for clarity.
The tone is bold and upbeat, evoking vintage athletic graphics and mid‑century advertising. Its chunky, slanted forms feel assertive and energetic, with a friendly playfulness that keeps the weight from feeling rigid or formal.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a lively, italicized stance and slab-serif authority. The notched terminals and rounded geometry suggest an intention to blend vintage sign-painting or athletic-lettering cues with sturdy, contemporary display weight for attention-first typography.
Capitals maintain a consistent, blocky presence, while lowercase forms stay stout and readable with a clear, rounded construction. Numerals are equally heavy and attention-grabbing, matching the letterforms with broad curves and strong slab terminals, supporting cohesive headline settings.
