A heavy, forward-slanted slab display face with broad proportions and a blocky, machined silhouette. Strokes are thick and assertive with crisp, square slab terminals and frequent chamfered corners that carve out sharp, faceted contours. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, giving the forms a sturdy, sign-like rhythm. The lowercase is weighty and upright in structure while sharing the same squared joins and abbreviated serifs; overall spacing reads open for a dense weight, supporting large-setting legibility.
Best suited for display applications where strong presence is needed: athletic identities, bold headlines, event posters, and packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, vintage-leaning voice. It also performs well for short UI banners or badges when set large enough to preserve the tight counters.
The tone is bold and physical, evoking sports lettering, workwear branding, and vintage signage. Its angled stance and cut-in corners add speed and grit, while the slab construction keeps it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab framework, combining a fast, italicized stance with faceted geometry for a distinctive, retro-industrial flavor.
Distinctive polygonal shaping appears throughout, with clipped corners on rounds (such as C/G/O-like forms) and sturdy, squared-off numerals that feel built for impact. The design maintains a consistent system of flat terminals and angular notches, producing a uniform, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes.
