A heavy, slanted slab-serif with compact, blocky letterforms and pronounced rectangular serifs. Strokes are sturdy with moderate contrast and a consistent, slightly compressed rhythm despite generous overall width. Corners and joins show subtle shaping—small wedges and scooped transitions at some inner curves—adding a carved, ink-trap-like texture that keeps counters open at bold sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and workmanlike with a single-story “a,” a looped “g,” and a firm, straight-backed construction throughout; figures follow the same robust, slabbed treatment and sit confidently on the baseline.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and short emphatic copy where its bold slabs and slanted drive can do the work. It fits sports branding, event posters, attention-grabbing packaging, and logo/wordmark applications that benefit from a sturdy, retro-leaning display voice.
The font conveys a confident, competitive tone—loud, fast, and a bit vintage—like classic athletic lettering or bold editorial display. Its oblique stance and chunky serifs add momentum and punch, giving text an emphatic, poster-ready presence.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact, athletic-flavored slab serif that stays legible at bold weights while retaining distinctive character through sculpted joins and a strong oblique stance.
In longer samples the strong slant and dense weight create a dark color, so it reads best when given space (larger sizes, shorter lines, or generous tracking). The slab serifs and squared terminals keep the texture crisp and structured, while the slightly irregular interior shaping adds character rather than feeling purely geometric.
