A heavy, oblique slab-serif with sturdy, blocklike serifs and a slightly condensed feel in many letters. Strokes are thick and largely even, with minimal modulation, and the counters are compact, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Serifs read as squared and weighty with mild bracketing, and many joins are crisp and angular, reinforcing a mechanical, poster-oriented rhythm. The lowercase is robust and upright in construction despite the slant, with single-story forms where expected and short, solid arms and terminals that keep word shapes tight and punchy.
Best suited to large sizes where its slab structure and oblique energy can read clearly—headlines, posters, and punchy pull quotes. It also fits packaging and label systems that want a rugged, retro voice, and branding contexts such as sports or workwear-inspired identities where a strong, compact display serif is desirable.
The font projects confidence and momentum, combining a classic slab-serif backbone with a sporty, forward-leaning stance. Its tone feels vintage and workmanlike—more headline-driven than delicate—suggesting signage, uniforms, or editorial display where impact and attitude matter. The overall impression is bold and direct, with a slightly nostalgic, American-industrial flavor.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab: a sturdy, low-contrast build paired with an oblique slant to add speed and emphasis. Its squared serifs and compact counters prioritize presence and legibility at distance, aiming for a confident, utilitarian look that carries well across bold messaging.
In text settings, the slanted stance and dense spacing create a strong horizontal flow and a dark typographic color. The numerals are similarly weighty and constructed for visibility, matching the letterforms’ squared, no-nonsense geometry.
