A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. Serifs read as thick blocks with gently bracketed joins, and many terminals end in flat cuts that keep the silhouette crisp. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while interior counters stay open for a dense weight. Lowercase forms are compact with a sturdy rhythm; ascenders are strong, and descenders (g, j, y) are deep and rounded, giving the line a lively baseline. Numerals are equally weighty and consistent, with broad shapes and stable, squared-off finishing.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display text where its bold slabs and italic momentum can carry a layout. It works well for posters, packaging, and branding systems that want a strong, retro-leaning voice, and it can also fit sports or event graphics where weight and slant add urgency.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, pairing a vintage, print-forward slab feel with a sporty, headline-ready slant. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a slightly playful warmth from the rounded curves and heavy slabs.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact slab serif that stays readable at display sizes while projecting motion and confidence through a consistent italic slant. Its broad proportions and chunky terminals suggest a focus on bold editorial and promotional typography rather than delicate text settings.
The italic angle is noticeable without becoming cursive, so the texture stays blocky and impactful. Round letters show a subtle squaring where strokes meet terminals, keeping the design cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
