A compact, heavy slab-serif with a pronounced oblique slant and sturdy, squared-off serifs. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, creating a dense texture and strong horizontal emphasis. The letterforms feel slightly condensed, with tight counters and crisp joins; curves are firm rather than delicate, and terminals generally end in flat, blocky slabs. In text, the rhythm is punchy and tightly spaced, producing a dark, cohesive color that reads best at larger sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where a strong, angled slab-serif voice is desirable. It works particularly well for sports branding, event promotions, packaging, and editorial display settings that benefit from a compact, high-impact texture.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a classic athletic and mid-century print flavor. Its slanted, blocky construction adds motion and urgency while the slab serifs keep it grounded and authoritative. The result feels made for bold statements—confident, loud, and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, combining slab-serif sturdiness with an oblique, forward-leaning stance. It prioritizes impact and clarity over delicacy, aiming for bold, attention-grabbing display typography with a vintage-informed voice.
Uppercase forms project a billboard-like solidity, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure that preserves impact in running text. Numerals match the same sturdy build and oblique stance, supporting headlines and callouts with consistent weight and presence.
