A heavy oblique slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. The serifs are thick and squared-off with subtle bracketing, producing sturdy, block-like joins and a strong baseline presence. Strokes stay largely uniform, with gently rounded corners in places to keep the forms from feeling brittle. The rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, and the numerals match the letters with the same stout, grounded construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and statement typography where impact is the priority. It can work well for sports and outdoor branding, packaging callouts, and logotypes that benefit from a strong, industrial-leaning voice. For longer passages, larger sizes and looser tracking help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is bold and punchy, with a classic, slightly vintage flavor reminiscent of athletic, workwear, and poster typography. Its slanted stance adds urgency and motion, while the chunky slabs communicate confidence and durability.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual force in an oblique slab serif, combining sturdy slabs and broad, compact shapes to create a fast, confident display texture.
In text, the dense weight and tight apertures create a dark, emphatic texture that reads best with generous spacing and at display sizes. The mix of squared terminals and mild curvature gives it a practical, engineered feel rather than a delicate or calligraphic one.
