A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are built from blunt, square-ended strokes with strong, rectangular slab serifs that read as largely unbracketed, giving the design a blocky, engineered texture. Counters and apertures are moderately compact, and curves (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals) are kept taut and controlled, balancing rounded forms against flat terminals. Overall spacing and rhythm feel robust and uniform, producing a dense, high-impact line in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter—headlines, posters, sports or team-oriented branding, and bold packaging typography. It can also work for editorial callouts, pull quotes, and short subheads where a dense, energetic texture is desirable.
The combination of bold slabs and a pronounced slant gives the font a fast, confident tone that feels sporty and assertive. Its crisp, squared detailing suggests a slightly retro, display-oriented attitude—more headline than body—while still maintaining a clear, disciplined structure.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, modern slab-serif voice with built-in motion, pairing sturdy rectangular serifs with an italic slant for emphasis and speed. Its controlled geometry and consistent stroke weight prioritize clarity and punch over delicacy, aiming for immediate visibility in display contexts.
The italic construction reads as an oblique with consistent slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating strong forward motion in running text. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly squared terminals and a compact, punchy presence that holds up well at larger sizes.
