A heavy, slanted slab serif with compact proportions and emphatic, squared terminals. Stems are thick and largely monolinear, with sharp chamfered corners and wedge-like cut-ins that give counters and joins a carved, stencil-adjacent feel. The serif treatment is bold and blocky, meeting strokes cleanly and reinforcing a strong baseline presence. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are tightened into faceted arcs, creating an overall angular rhythm and dense texture in text.
Well suited to headlines, team and event branding, merchandise graphics, and punchy promotional layouts where a strong, athletic voice is needed. It can work effectively on packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, heritage-inspired presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the angular detailing stays clear.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense attitude with a sporty, poster-driven energy. Its faceted shapes and hefty slabs suggest heritage signage and athletic branding, balancing a vintage toughness with a forward-leaning sense of motion. The tone is assertive and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense strokes, squared slabs, and faceted curves, while the slant adds speed and emphasis. Its simplified, carved geometry prioritizes bold legibility and a distinctive brandable silhouette over fine typographic nuance in extended reading.
Uppercase forms are particularly rectangular and stable, while lowercase maintains the same chunky geometry with simplified, sturdy details. Numerals are similarly block-formed, designed to read as bold sign figures with minimal delicacy. Spacing appears tuned for headline impact, producing a dark, confident typographic color.
