A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and squared, flat-ended serifs that read as sturdy blocks. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast and compact counters, creating a dense, high-impact texture. The design favors strong horizontal terminals and chunky joins, with a slightly condensed internal spacing that helps the wide forms hold together. Lowercase shows a large x-height and simplified, robust shapes that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent branding where a strong typographic voice is needed. It works well for sports or outdoor-themed graphics, labels and packaging, and punchy editorial callouts where the dense, slabbed texture can carry the message.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a rugged, sporty confidence. Its slanted stance and blocky slabs give it a sense of speed and impact, while the squared details add a retro, industrial flavor. The texture feels attention-grabbing and headline-driven rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a durable, block-constructed slab serif system and a forward-leaning emphasis for energy. It prioritizes presence and readability at display sizes, pairing wide letterforms with simplified, sturdy details for strong typographic signage.
The numerals match the letterforms with the same hefty weight and squared finishing, supporting consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings. In longer lines, the strong serifs and tight counters create a dark rhythm that benefits from generous leading or larger sizes for clarity.
