This typeface is a slanted slab-serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and broad proportions. Serifs read as chunky and mostly square-ended with subtle bracketing, giving the letterforms a sturdy, engineered feel rather than a delicate one. Curves are slightly squared off, and many joins show crisp, chiseled transitions that create small notch-like details at corners. Spacing appears generous and the overall rhythm is punchy, with sturdy verticals, firm horizontals, and a consistent rightward italic stance across caps, lowercase, and figures.
It’s well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, subheads, posters, and bold editorial callouts. The strong slabs and wide stance also make it a good fit for packaging, signage, and sports-leaning branding where a confident, kinetic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a retro, poster-like confidence. Its robust slabs and angular shaping suggest speed and impact, making it feel sporty and attention-grabbing while still grounded and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a sturdy slab-serif skeleton paired with an italic slant for motion. The squared terminals and low-contrast construction prioritize solidity and clarity at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, energetic texture in text lines.
Uppercase shapes stay compact and blocky, while lowercase forms retain clear counters and a practical, workmanlike construction. Numerals share the same forward lean and heavy build, reinforcing a cohesive, display-forward texture when set in lines.
