A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact, squared forms and strongly cut terminals. Serifs are blocky and prominent, often with slight bracketing, while joins and inner corners show chiseled, notched shaping that adds a mechanical rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and apertures are relatively closed, giving letters a dense, punchy silhouette. The overall texture is dark and even, with a sturdy baseline presence and crisp, angular detailing across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team identities, badges, and bold packaging. It can also work for logo wordmarks where a sturdy, vintage-industrial voice is desired, but its dense color and tight interiors make it most effective at larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The font conveys a forceful, competitive tone with a distinctly retro utilitarian flavor. Its slanted stance and blocky slabs read as energetic and emphatic, evoking athletic branding and bold promotional typography rather than quiet editorial neutrality.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a strong, slanted slab-serif voice and deliberate cut-in detailing that reinforces a tough, engineered character. The consistent weight and compact counters prioritize loud readability and brand presence in display typography.
Uppercase shapes are broad-shouldered and squared, while the lowercase keeps a robust, compact feel with pronounced terminals that preserve clarity at display sizes. Numerals match the same chunky, cut-in aesthetic, maintaining a consistent, poster-ready color across mixed text.
