This typeface is a heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with squared, unbracketed serifs and a largely even stroke weight. Letterforms are compact and blocky, built from straight segments and broad curves with clipped corners and tight counters that emphasize solidity. The italic angle is pronounced, and the rhythm is energetic, with slightly varying glyph widths and sturdy horizontals that keep forms stable even at large sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a uniform, banner-like heft, while lowercase maintains the same rigid, engineered construction.
Best suited for display settings such as sports branding, team identities, event posters, and bold editorial headlines where impact matters most. It can also work well on apparel, signage, and packaging that benefits from a strong, kinetic voice.
The overall tone feels bold and competitive, combining a utilitarian, machined look with a retro athletic flavor. Its sharp edges and chunky slabs read as confident and loud, suited to messaging that needs immediate attention and a sense of motion.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a fast, slanted stance and sturdy slab serifs, echoing classic athletic and industrial lettering. Its simplified, block-built forms prioritize instant recognition and strong silhouette over delicate detail.
Round letters like O/C/G show squared-off terminals and compressed interior space, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are wide and muscular, reinforcing the typeface’s sporty cadence. The dense shapes and narrow openings suggest it will look strongest when given room to breathe rather than packed tightly at small sizes.
