A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and tightly packed counters. Strokes are robust with noticeable internal shaping and selective cut-ins that create a slightly notched, ink-trap-like texture at joins and corners. Serifs read as blunt slabs with angled terminals, and the overall silhouette favors squared forms, chamfered corners, and a forward-slanted rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share a sturdy, compact build, while numerals are wide and strongly geometric with consistent weight and firm baselines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and fast readability at large sizes are key. It works well for sports identities, event promotions, apparel graphics, and packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, energetic voice.
The font projects a loud, competitive energy with a vintage sports and workwear flavor. Its dense blackness and angular detailing feel confident and promotional, leaning toward bold, high-impact messaging rather than quiet reading.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact with a sporty, retro-industrial tone—combining wide, slab-serif weight with angular detailing to stay legible and dynamic under bold display conditions.
The design’s distinctive character comes from its combination of slabbed structure and deliberate internal cutaways, which add texture and prevent large areas from feeling overly flat. The italic slant is integrated into the letterforms rather than simply obliqued, reinforcing a sense of speed and momentum.
