A heavy, oblique slab-serif with compact proportions and sturdy, squared-off finishing. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, giving the design a solid, uniform color on the page. Serifs are pronounced and blocky with slight bracketing, and many terminals end bluntly, reinforcing a utilitarian, engineered feel. Counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is dense but controlled, producing strong word shapes that hold together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, posters, and packaging where a strong, italicized voice is needed. It can also work for short subheads and branding—especially sports, outdoor, or industrial themes—where its slab-serif solidity and forward-leaning motion support impact and urgency.
The font reads confident and energetic, combining an athletic slant with a rugged, workmanlike presence. Its chunky slabs and tight spacing cues feel slightly retro, like classic sports branding or bold editorial titling, while still staying clean enough for modern layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, fast-leaning slab-serif voice: sturdy enough to feel dependable, but angled to suggest momentum. Its simplified contrast and square, assertive serifs prioritize clarity and punch over refinement.
The numerals match the same robust, slanted construction and maintain a consistent weight and stance across the set. Round letters stay firmly structured rather than delicate, so the face keeps its punch even in mixed-case text.
