A heavy, oblique slab-serif design with squared terminals, broad shoulders, and tightly controlled curves. The letterforms favor blocky geometry with rounded-rectangle bowls and compact apertures, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Serifs read as sturdy, bracket-free slabs that often appear as cut-in feet or flat extensions, and the overall drawing keeps stroke transitions minimal and crisp. The lowercase stays upright in construction but leans with the slant, with short extenders and chunky joins that maintain a consistent, muscular rhythm across text and numerals.
Best suited for short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, and bold labels where a strong slanted slab presence is desirable. It can work for punchy subheads and callouts, especially when set with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a competitive, scoreboard-like confidence. Its slanted stance and hard-edged slabs give it a forward-driving, workmanlike character that nods to classic athletic and industrial graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an athletic-leaning, industrial slab voice—combining squared construction, simplified curves, and an oblique angle to project speed and strength in display typography.
In longer lines, the compact counters and tight inner spaces amplify the dark color, so spacing and size become important for clarity. Figures are robust and simplified, matching the overall squared, high-impact silhouette.
