A heavy, slanted slab-serif with squared construction and crisp chamfered corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with flat, block-like serifs and terminals that create a strong, poster-ready silhouette. Curves are tightened into faceted, almost octagonal shapes (notably in C/G/O/Q and numerals), and counters stay fairly open for the weight. The overall rhythm is punchy and compact, with a consistent forward lean and sturdy, squared shoulders throughout.
Well-suited for sports identities, team apparel graphics, and bold promotional headlines where impact is the priority. It also works effectively on posters, signage, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, industrial-leaning typographic voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font projects a tough, competitive tone reminiscent of varsity lettering and sports branding, while its beveled, machined edges add an industrial edge. It feels energetic and no-nonsense, leaning toward bold, action-oriented messaging rather than delicate or formal contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a slanted, square-built slab form that reads quickly and carries a competitive, badge-like character. Its chamfered geometry and firm terminals emphasize strength and momentum while maintaining legibility in short bursts of text.
Diagonal joins and clipped corners are a recurring motif, giving the design a cut-from-metal feel. The numerals share the same faceted geometry, helping headlines and scores read as a cohesive system, and the punctuation shown (apostrophe, period, exclamation) matches the blunt, solid detailing.
