A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad, square-cut terminals and a compact, powerful silhouette. Strokes stay largely uniform, with thick stems and sturdy slabs that read as rectangular blocks rather than tapered serifs. The italic slant is consistent and mechanical, giving counters a slightly compressed, oblique feel while maintaining strong, stable letterforms. Lowercase forms are robust and utilitarian, and the numerals match the same chunky, high-impact construction for cohesive text and display settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding that need immediate impact, especially in sports, automotive, or industrial-leaning identities. It also works well for packaging, labels, and signage where a compact italic slab can project motion while staying highly legible at display sizes.
The overall tone is bold and punchy, with a vintage, poster-like confidence. Its oblique stance adds speed and urgency, evoking sports branding, workwear labels, and mid-century advertising where impact and momentum matter more than delicacy.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight and momentum in an italic slab-serif structure, combining squared terminals with a sturdy, utilitarian build. Its aim is clear, fast recognition with a distinctly retro, workmanlike flavor.
The design favors strong horizontals and squared-off details, producing crisp edges and a tight rhythm that holds together well in short lines and stacked settings. In longer text, the dense color and pronounced slabs create a forceful texture that benefits from generous tracking and leading.
