A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and squared-off, chiseled contours. Strokes are thick and uniform with crisp corners, while many joins and inner corners show small notches and cut-ins that read like ink-traps or carved facets. Serifs are bold and rectangular, often integrated into the stem as stepped, flat terminals rather than delicate brackets. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and the overall rhythm feels tightly packed and mechanical, with strong horizontal bases and a stable baseline.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, merchandise, labels, and bold advertising headlines. It performs well when large enough for the cut-in details to stay clear, and when the goal is a forceful, kinetic voice rather than quiet text readability.
The tone is loud, competitive, and throwback—evoking sports lettering, workwear branding, and old poster typography. Its exaggerated weight and italic slant create a sense of speed and impact, while the slab structure adds a rugged, industrial confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a fast, forward-leaning stance, using chunky slabs and angular cut-ins to keep counters open and add a carved, engineered character. It aims for strong silhouette recognition and a gritty, vintage display flavor that reads instantly at a glance.
Uppercase forms appear especially suited to display use, with pronounced geometry and consistent rightward motion. Numerals match the same blocky, carved aesthetic, maintaining the strong footprint and flat-ended details seen across the alphabet.
