A very heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and a strongly graphic silhouette. Strokes are thick with noticeable (but not delicate) contrast, and terminals resolve into chunky, wedge-like slabs that read as cut or notched rather than softly bracketed. Many joins and interior corners show small triangular cut-ins that create a rugged, engineered rhythm, while counters stay relatively tight under the weight. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with a slightly irregular, machined feel that emphasizes motion and mass.
Best suited to display settings where bold presence is desirable: sports identities, event posters, bold headlines, and energetic packaging. It can also work for compact wordmarks and short slogans where the slanted, slabbed forms contribute to a dynamic, branded look.
The tone is sporty and assertive, leaning into a retro display energy reminiscent of team branding and headline typography. Its aggressive slant and chiseled details add a sense of speed and impact, giving text a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact at large sizes through a heavy, slanted structure and distinctive slab terminals, balancing readability with a stylized, carved-in detailing. The consistent angular cut-ins suggest an aim for a sporty, industrial character that stays recognizable in quick glances.
In longer text the heavy weight and tight counters create a dark, continuous color, so the distinctive cut-ins and slabs become the primary identifying features. The numerals and capitals feel especially built for emphasis, with consistent angular detailing that keeps the style cohesive across the set.
