A heavy, slanted slab-serif with compact, blocky letterforms and broad horizontal elements. The serifs are stout and integrated, giving a cut, chiseled silhouette, while counters are relatively tight and squared-off, especially in round letters. Stroke endings and joins show crisp, angular shaping, with small notches and wedge-like cuts that add texture and emphasize the forward-leaning rhythm. Overall spacing and proportions feel built for impact, producing a dense, headline-oriented color.
Best suited to display use where punch and personality matter: sports identity, team merchandise, energetic posters, bold packaging, and editorial or web headlines. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense shapes and pronounced detailing make it less comfortable for extended text.
The tone is bold and competitive, with a distinctly retro sports and workwear feel. Its strong slant and carved details suggest motion and toughness, reading as confident and slightly aggressive in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-driving, athletic slant and robust slab construction. The carved notches and hard edges add a rugged, industrial flavor while keeping letterforms cohesive and strongly readable at headline sizes.
The numerals match the same rugged, slabbed construction and maintain consistent weight and slant, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel unified. The distinctive cut-ins around joins and terminals create an ink-trap-like character that adds grit at larger sizes, though it also increases visual busyness in longer lines.
