A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, firmly planted stems and tightly set counters. Serifs are blocky and mostly square-ended, often lightly bracketed into the stems, giving the forms a carved, poster-like solidity. Curves are generously rounded and slightly squashed, while interior spaces stay compact, producing a dense, dark typographic color. The overall construction mixes sturdy verticals with softened transitions and occasional notched/ink-trap-like joins that help keep shapes open at this weight.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, display headlines, sports identities, and bold packaging. It can also work for attention-grabbing pull quotes or section headers where a dense, authoritative voice is desirable.
The tone is bold and assertive with a distinctly vintage, athletic flavor. Its italic slant and chunky slabs add motion and emphasis, suggesting headlines, signage, and branding that want to feel strong, punchy, and a bit nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a compact, sturdy slab-serif structure while retaining readability through rounded curves and open-enough apertures for a very heavy weight. The italic angle reinforces a sense of forward motion for energetic display typography.
Uppercase forms read particularly stable and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic, lively shapes that increase personality in text. Numerals are similarly stout and highly visible, designed more for impact than delicate detail.
