A heavy, slanted slab serif with broad proportions and dense, blocky letterforms. Strokes stay largely uniform in thickness, with squared-off terminals and chunky, rectangular serifs that give the contours a carved, poster-like solidity. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and the italics feel more like a strong forward shear than a cursive construction, keeping shapes upright and geometric. Numerals match the caps’ mass and footprint, maintaining a consistent, high-impact rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, storefront signage, and brand marks. It also fits sports and team-style graphics, product packaging, and promotional materials that benefit from a tough, energetic voice. For longer passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes or in short bursts such as pull quotes and titles.
The tone is bold and extroverted, suggesting athletic energy and a rugged, workwear confidence. Its strong slabs and forward lean read as action-oriented and unapologetically loud, with a touch of vintage Americana in the overall silhouette.
The font appears intended as a high-impact italic slab for attention-grabbing typography, combining sturdy, square-ended construction with a forward-leaning stance to convey motion and strength. Its forms prioritize bold silhouettes and consistent rhythm for reliable performance in branding and headline contexts.
The design favors clarity through strong silhouettes rather than fine internal detail, so spacing and word shapes feel compact and forceful. The consistent, square finishing throughout helps the alphabet hold together as a unified display style.
