A compact, right-slanted slab-serif with heavy, blocky forms and square-cut terminals. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight counters and a sturdy, condensed rhythm that keeps letters visually dense. Serifs read as strong, flat slabs with minimal curvature, and joins and shoulders are simplified for impact rather than delicacy. Numerals and capitals carry a billboard-like weight, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, workmanlike texture with clear, squared-off endings.
This font performs best in bold headlines, posters, and branding where compact width and strong slab endings help messages hit quickly. It also suits sports-themed graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional typography that benefits from a dense, high-impact texture.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, combining a sporty, headline-driven presence with an industrial sturdiness. Its slant adds urgency and motion, while the chunky slabs keep the voice grounded and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, using a strong slanted stance and squared slab details to project speed, toughness, and high visibility.
At text sizes the boldness and tight internal spaces create a dark color, making it better suited to short settings than extended reading. The uppercase set feels especially commanding, and the figures match the same compact, hard-edged construction for consistent emphasis in display use.
