A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with compact, blocky letterforms and sturdy, bracketed serifs. Strokes are low-contrast and largely monolinear, with rounded joins and slightly softened terminals that keep the forms from feeling mechanical. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with broad counters, a wide stance, and numerals that match the assertive color of the letters. Curves are full and smooth while the serifs stay firmly rectangular, creating a strong baseline presence and clear word shapes in running text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text where strong typographic color is desired. It can work well for editorial display, bold brand marks, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a sturdy slab voice and energetic slant.
The font conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone with a hint of vintage print and sports-minded emphasis. Its weight and slanted posture give it momentum and urgency, while the slab details add a grounded, dependable character suited to bold statements.
Likely designed to deliver a practical, workhorse slab impression with extra emphasis and forward drive. The goal appears to be high-impact readability—maintaining familiar slab serif structure while adding density and motion for display-oriented settings.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive forward rhythm. Spacing appears intentionally compact for a tight, impactful line, and the slab serifs remain prominent even at smaller sizes, reinforcing a sturdy, poster-like texture.
