A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with squarish proportions and unbracketed, block-like terminals. Strokes are thick and even, with tight counters and subtly softened corners that keep the forms from feeling purely mechanical. The serifs read as sturdy rectangular feet and caps, and several joins show slight notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that add bite at small sizes. Overall rhythm is compact and dense, with a strong horizontal emphasis and consistent, industrial-feeling geometry across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, sports and team identity, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for short bursts of text (subheads, pull quotes) where a compact, high-impact voice is needed and the heavy color won’t overwhelm the layout.
The tone is energetic and assertive, evoking vintage athletic lettering and utilitarian signage. Its bold, compressed punch and slanted posture communicate momentum and impact, with a slightly rugged edge that feels workmanlike rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, fast-moving slab-serif voice that remains sturdy and readable, pairing an athletic italic stance with industrial, unbracketed slabs for maximum impact.
Uppercase forms are particularly headline-oriented, with wide, stable slabs and minimal interior detail, while the lowercase stays robust and legible through large bowls and simplified construction. Numerals match the same blocky, italicized stance, supporting bold editorial or display settings where clarity and force matter more than delicacy.
