A robust, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a smooth, continuous stroke flow. Strokes read largely uniform, with gentle swelling at curves and subtly tapered joins that keep counters open. Serifs are thick and rounded/bracketed, often forming wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a cushioned, sculpted look rather than sharp, mechanical slabs. Curves are generous and slightly squashed horizontally, producing wide bowls and a forward-driving rhythm; the figures share the same rounded, chunky construction and slanted stance.
Best suited to display contexts where speed and presence matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold editorial callouts. It also works well for signage and packaging where a vintage-sport tone and high visual impact are desired; for long text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes due to its weight and strong slant.
The overall tone is energetic and vintage-leaning, with a friendly athletic swagger. Its wide, slanted shapes and soft slabs evoke classic signage and sporty headline lettering—confident and attention-seeking without feeling harsh.
Likely drawn to deliver a broad, italic slab voice that reads quickly and projects motion. The rounded, bracketed slabs and wide set aim to combine vintage signage character with modern punch for attention-driven typography.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, helping lines of text feel fast and connected even though the design remains clearly serifed. Inner shapes stay relatively open for a heavy style, and the rounded terminals reduce glare at display sizes, reinforcing a smooth, slightly “inked” impression.
