A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and assertive, blocky letterforms. The serifs are thick and strongly bracketed, giving the joins a carved, cushioned feel rather than a sharp mechanical edge. Strokes show noticeable modulation with rounded transitions and occasional notch-like cut-ins that read as subtle ink-trap shaping in tight corners. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with tapered terminals and a lively baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short statements where a dense, confident texture is an asset. It works well for sports and entertainment branding, bold editorial titling, packaging callouts, and poster design where strong contrast against a background and a sense of motion are desirable.
The font projects a bold, vintage confidence—part athletic poster, part old-school editorial headline. Its italic slant and chunky slabs create forward motion and swagger, making it feel spirited and attention-seeking rather than formal or quiet.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display italic that combines sturdy slab-serif construction with softened, more human curves. Its goal seems to be immediate visibility and character in large sizes, delivering a retro-tinged voice with enough openness to stay readable in short blocks of text.
The uppercase has a compact, display-driven build with sturdy horizontals and prominent slabs, while the lowercase adds more bounce through more fluid curves and looped forms. Figures are robust and rounded, matching the heavyweight texture of the letters and maintaining strong presence in large sizes.
