A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with squared terminals and a strongly geometric construction. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with crisp corners, flat cuts, and unbracketed slab feet that give the letters a block-built feel. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are controlled, creating a compact rhythm in text while still reading clearly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same muscular proportions, with sharp diagonals and consistent stroke endings that keep the set visually unified.
This font performs best in display contexts such as sports identities, event posters, punchy headlines, badges, and packaging where a strong, kinetic voice is needed. It can also work for short subheads or callouts, especially when you want an industrial slab feel with forward motion.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, suggesting speed and impact. Its oblique stance and chunky slabs evoke athletic branding and vintage industrial signage, balancing a modern, engineered crispness with a throwback toughness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and speed through a bold oblique stance, squared slab finishing, and tightly controlled interior space. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and consistent, engineered rhythm for branding-forward typography.
The slant is pronounced enough to create a forward-leaning motion, while the squared serifs and flat stroke cuts maintain a disciplined, mechanical finish. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and a bold texture, best suited to short lines where the compact counters don’t over-darken.
